Default Civic shut down completely, restarted though

One day, I started up my car and began driving. It was kind of hot so I ed the A/C. Anyway, about 200 yards later, my car shut down completely. The engine wasn't running and the clock on my dashboard was off but the fan for the interior was still blowing. I put the car back into park and restarted the car. I haven't had any problems since.

Has this happened to anyone else and anyone know the source of this problem?

I had that happen once, Car just stalled out on my for know aparent reason. Turned out to be the oxygen sesnor that went bad, CEL didnt come on till a few weeks later thou. I guess it ran too rich and stalled. Don't know about the fan and dashboard lights thou was on a off ramp on 295 didnt want to stay there for long, lol. Might not be your problem thou could be alot of other things.

possibly ur fuses to the battery came lose for an instant cutting ur fuel and killled the car but only for a instant. try checking all the wires to ur battery and making sure there good and tight and good contact surface.
