Those dont have the defective ignition switches do they? I know the preludes and such did... They can cause the car to die really quickly and start back up...

Where are these oil lines you're talking about? You have an extra oil cooler or something?

The only time that something similar has ever happened to me, an electronic control module associated with the ignition timing was about to go.

If I'd been driving the car, I might be able to render a more intelligent response, but it could be anything from a real computer glitch to the computer shutting the car down momentarily for lack of oil pressure or lack of ignition.

If there's something permanently wrong, I think the same people who did your 90K service would be able to diagnose it for you in short order, and I think it'd be a good idea for them to take a look at it to be sure.

how was your oil level when that happened? I had VTEC faliure when my oil was low20-30,000 miles ago, the car bogged right around 4000RPM when VTEC usually kicks in. A cel came on, I pulled the #13 fuse to reset it, got an oil change and the car is fine. I usually have to add 2-3quarts of oil between oil changes. if you oil was low you could of had VTEC failure.
