Electrical quits for no reason

Electrical quits for no reason
HELP! My great little '98 CRV has a perplexing problem. The electrical system fails intermittently for no reason, stalling the vehicle. So far it has failed approx. 9 times and it has only failed on occasion when I slow down and take my foot off the accelerator at a stop sign or intersection. I have to push it to side of road and after about 2 to 5 minutes, electrical comes back on and I can restart the car. The battery and it's connections, the starter and alternator all have been checked and they are good. I can't continue to drive it for fear that it will fail in heavy traffic at night and I will be left with no headlights, leaving me in danger. It will drive fine for a day to a week or two with no problem. Then it will fail again. Has anyone had a similar problem? What could be the cause? My repairman can't figure it out.

welcome to the forum. I ran into this with another make car, and found at th fire wall the electrical connection ( many wires cannon plug ) to be loose, it only happened at various times, and the dealer was surprised to see this. on the firewall engine compartment side. this may be difficult to find on the crv.

I only had the ignition key and the remote device for opening the doors on key ring. The repairman said it was the original ignition and was worn. I have been driving it again for two days and so far no stalls so I hope that was the answer.
I knew the school teacher I bought the CRV from four years ago. She was a heavy purse sort of person, so quite possibly she was also a heavy key ring sort of person.
I'm glad to have my car back home.
