Hello, I had this problem with my car as well. More specifically, my car would shut down while driving or idling with no apparent reason, full tank of gas, recent oil change, no noises, no nothing. After parking and trying to start it many many times, the car would start again without me really doing anything then drive like nothing happened until the problem inexplicably happened again, a day, a week, or several weeks later. In my case the problem was a faulty ignition switch. There was apparently a manufacturer recall of the problem when it happened and if you are the first owner and the problem never happened before the company will send you a replacement part in the mail, I think. As I was not the first owner of the car and did not know if the problem had been fixed in the past i was on my own. Luckily the part was fairly inexpensive and my mechanic did the work for cheap. Total I believe I spent sell than $100. Google Acura ignition switch and include your model year. Or you can order the part directly from your local Acura dealer. Hope this helps

My 2005 TL would shut off while driving with no warning. I could be going 10 miles an hour or 65 miles an hour on the interstate and suddenly it completely shut off. Luckily I never had a problem getting to the side of the road. If I waited 15mins it would start back up like nothing ever happened. Turns out it was the fuel filter relay. Nowadays they cost about $80 at Advance Auto and if you have some knowledge on repair and small enough hands you can do it yourself. They have tons of videos on YouTube on how to do it.

are you talking about the blue relay, bottom left? or something else because I had mine changed, with a new one at the dealership and it is still shutting off while driving in just 40 seconds to a minute... they also changed the ignition switch. I am getting a code 0685, ECM/ecu relay stuck open... I ordered that relay and am waiting for it to come in. I really hope it is the fix, otherwise, I am going to try the fuel pump... I had it at the Honda dealership for over 5 days, they said they fixed it but they didn't. Anyone got any ideas? I know it could be the alternator it's just daunting having it taken out to get tested and then it not being that.
@blue2204 you need to give us much more information than a single one-liner. What exact make and model? What engine? What have you checked? Has anything happened or did this just start out of the blue? The more information you provide, the higher the likelihood that someone can help you with this.
