ok well every mornin i start up the car and i drive it and once i get to a stop light my whole car starts vibrating and sometimes stalls out..even if i warm up the car 10 mins its still does the same thing..its and Automatic (sportshift)

what does your car idle at?
almost sounds like the idle speed is too low.

[97Lude]

normally 600-700..but in the mornin it dips down near 0

[SecretAgent]

this should be in the maintainance forum.

[daz9674]

is your cel light on? if so autozone can tell you whats wrong like your maf sensor or something if not its possible it is your tranny.. have you had the fluids changed? if so who did it? the reason i say its COULD be it is cuz i had the same problem and my lude was auto but im not supposed tell you this cuz of the rules in this forum. but it is a possiblity

[v4lu3s]

when was it last tuned up? the idle seems abit low though i may be wrong on that (havent had an autohonda in years), i juts know when my idle was too low on several of my h22a's it would stall out whene it was cold, shake a lot, and try to stall with theac on sometimes.

i agree, 600-700 is a bit too low. the lowest ive seen on hondas is about 750rpm

:wrd: same problem here man, check the compression, you'll probably see that you losing some somewhere. i'm not a honda mechanic though, just something that happened to me. i could probably get you a compressor tester, just got to let me know.

[97Lude]

ok any of yall wanna give me a hand?

[defvayne]

you might have problems with your idle. normal idle for a honda should sit at 600-800 rpms. Check to see if you have any air leaks of some sort. Another problems is it might be the pcv valve you might want to go to Autozone and ask them for a pcv valve for your car. Change your spark plugs and spark plug wires. Check your battery to see if its charging right. And check the throtle body cable for slack and the throtle body screw. If its not that u might have a serious problem that needs to be check fast.

-for the best thing that you can do, start w/ a tune up.
-i think in general, if you have an idle problem, dont go to the net to get help cause it can be anything, yo!
