1990 Accord LX mt stalls while driving
I have a 1990 Accord 4dr LX that has now started to stall while driving. It will start back up immediately after. It seems to happen while driving in city and not in long highway drives. Any clue? I do have check engine code for tps but had that code for a month and this just happened today. Any help would be appreciated.

It's possible that the tps being bad could cause the car to stall but it's not usually the case. Since you know the tps is bad it would be best to fix that and see it clears up the stalling issue. There is a thread in the faq's for how to replace and how to calibrate the tps.
You will need to remove the throttle body and slice a line in each of the rivets so you can back the screws off with a flat head screwdriver to remove the tps. Again, make sure to calibrate the new tps. You could always just pull another throttle body from the junkyard as well. You will need a new throttle body gasket either way.
