Check your fuel pump main relay. It is a gray or black box with an 8 pin pigtail plugged into it near your steering column, way up under the dash. Take it out pry the box off of it and look at the soldered connections for imperfections.

If i see any imperfections what should i do. The green keylight flash right before it shuts down then sometimes it wont start back up

I’m not sure if that relay is before the security system or not, but if you see imperfections you should replace that relay. If that doesn’t fix it all you might have to have your security system checked out.

It's a bad ignition switch. Honda has a recall on them currently. Check your VIN. The switch loses contact within the key cylinder and the car stalls. It's due to heat. If you jiggle the key around for a few seconds and try to restart the car, usually it will fire right up. However 10 more minutes of driving and it probably stall again.
