Default rough idle and occasional stall.

My 98 civic will drive fine at certain times. sometimes, usually after a short drive, it will have a rough idle like the car is idling too low. Sometimes the car will die at idle if i dont give it a little gas. The car drives fine while i am on the freeway. I just feel a little loss of power since the problem occured.

I just changed the oil,oil filter, air filter, pcv valve, cap and rotor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and also adjusted the timing. But this problem occured BEFORE i did the minor tune up. Im not sure what the problem is. any ideas?? Thanks yall!

could be your idle air control valve. Happened to my brother's 97 civic dx.His car stall and idle very low too. Sometime when he accelerate the car, it would stall then go. He bought a brand new air control valve from Honda dealer and never have a problem since. It cost like $245 so good luck.
