97 Accord loses power while driving

I own a 97 Accord LX; 4-DR; 4cyl; 120,000 miles.
I'm the original owner. This has been a very reliable car.

Problem: Occasionally, my car will lose power while driving. I coast to the side of the road, shut off the car & it starts back up again.
(Note: the batt & engine lights came on when the car lost power, also, the needle on the speedometer went wacky.)

The alternator has been replaced, but I still have the same problem.

My mechanic is unable to locate a problem using his diagnostic equipment
since the problem has not occurred while in his possession.

I am now out $500, and still have the same problem.

Please let me know if anyone has knowledge of this problem.
thanks,

possibly an ignition switch electrical problem?

This might require some wire jiggling while running if no codes are present.
