no power after attempted start up

All right, here's a doosy!

My 89 honda civic dx has a wierd problem. Every once and a while, i will go to start it and it will just die. The power shuts down so not even the tail lights work. There's nothing. I disconected the neg. battery terminal for about ten seconds, then it comes back on just fine. Its not the started (just replaced) and I am reasonalble sure it is not the distributor. Any thoughts? I am going to replace the ignition coil and see what that does. Please advise.
