Default Stalling at stop light feels like i run out of gas.. Whats wrong?

Recently my 95 accord has stalled on me 4 or 5 times when I come to a stop. Feels like I am running out of gas but I got plenty.... Works fine at times like when I am on freeway ..... I've read it could be a relay but don't know which.... anyone know about this?... I'll take any help

I have a problem with that too but mine is throwing a TDC sensor code sometimes too... But other than the code diff my car does the same **** where it stalls on a light just dies not roughly just cuts off and it's only at idle

yo fugi is the chk engine lite on?? if so what is the code?? the relay you are talking about is the main relay which could cut out power to fuel pump thus killing car ..when car dies, take intake tube off from trottle body get some carb cleaner have someone try to start car while you spray cleaner into throttle body if car starts then you have a fuel issue .
when car dies are the dash lites ..oil, battery etc staying on???? if not you could have the electr part of ignition switch causing your problems

sounds like it might be time for a cap and rotor. it happened progressively on my friends integra, check to see if you have spark (pull out a spark plug wire and ground it with a screwdriver to the engine, if you see a spark, you're good), to check the fuel, take out the return line from the FPR and put a bottle under it, if you prime the car and gas comes out, you're good, if both those are good, do a fuel pressure test, sometimes when you do a spark test, it will spark, but check the cap and rotor and clean it up. on the TDC comment, your timing might be off, you change the timing belt anytime soon? is it not having enough tension? could have skipped a tooth.

make sure that on the throttle body the mixture screw is not almost all the way out,,,
now you said recently car stalled out 4-5 times.....in what time frame ?? everytime you stop lately? did it start up right away after stalling?? does it run smooth at idle when it runs? in park does engine rev up smoothly?
