your problem is what is called the main relay. When the car is
cold,the vehicle will start,it will run for approximatley an hour or
muntil it gets nice and warm,then shuts off and when it cols down,it
will restart again. This info comes from a 8 year honda certified

Hi

This may just be a stab in the dark, but I am wondering if the car
'thinks' it is overheating - two temperature sensors are present on
the car: one for your instrument panel and one for your power train
control module.
Perhaps the second one - when failed - senses overheating, causing the
car to do weird things and shut down. Since the sensor attached to
your instrument panel is totally independent from it, you would not
see it by looking at your temperature gauge.

It is a guess, because usually when those sensors fail the car becomes
hard to start but maybe another failure mode exists.

Hope you find it soon.
