    your gauge/reader just isnt working.
    does it idle correct all the time? could be a vacuum hose or the idle motor thingy.

    Probably your ignition switch... start your car and play with your key to see if it cuts off. It should still be cover under Honda warranty... you should call Honda and ask

    why would my car shut off if my guage wasnt reading. It will go back up eventually, and when it does start to go back up it will crank right back up. my fuel pump wont cut on either?ive put a new relay and a new fuel pump

    i know its highly unlikely but could it possibly be you fuel filter. or maybe one of the fuel lines leading from your tank to the filter...

    ^^ ya if it cuts off when it stops reading it probably isnt mechanical.
