maybe it's just a coincidence that the car is stopping now and it's actually just your car stalling, check the wiring

adjust the air bleed screw on the throttle body. unscrew it a turn or so.

the proper way is to unplug the iacv while running. keep on adjusting the screw until the desired idle speed is reached. it will stall when you unplug the iacv and set a check engine light. but after you get the screw adjusted right it wont stall any more. then just disconnect the battery terminals and touch them together to discharge the capaciters in the ecu.( WHILE BOTH TERMINALS ARE DISCONNECTED) let it idle for ten minutes so the ecu will learn the idle.

this is a common problem. see it all the time. also as a double check for another problem get in the car and flick your ign switch on/off alot of times. on one of the times you turn it on and you have no dash lights the electrical portion of the ign switch is going bad. i think there is a safety recall on those. youd have to call honda and give em your vin to double check

good luck
