Civic is dying while driving
Check your TPS (throttle position sensor)
Here's what my car was doing, see if it's similar
It would drive around fine, but when I let off the throttle, the car would begin to buck wildly. Very annoying when trying to drive through parking lots. (oddly it was also effecting my idle)
I changed the TPS sensor, and all is now good. A faulty TPS sensor will give bad readings to the ECU, like the throttle is open, when it's really closed or vice versa.
Hope this helps. Post this in Engine/Tech, ask 1stGenCrx, he knows everything and helped me with my problem

If there was a recall on the ignition switch, that would be your culprit. Did you receive a recall notice on your car? I know on the Preludes it took 2 months before I got mine. And before then I had replaced it myself. The switch is $30 some dollars and takes about 1 hour to do (wasn't very hard, just one difficult screw). If it is the same P/N as the Prelude, I have an extra...
