Rough idle/stall problem with my 2002 accord auto
Hi,
I had a small accident (just required some bumper/fender body work) with this car 2 years ago, and since then the idle was a bit rough, but never stalled till now. After the accident I went to the dealer trying to show the idle issue, but they say it’s OK. Today it stalled the 2nd time and in the same conditions: driving uphill on a steep road at very low speed (20mph) –stop and go traffic-
It seems that only stalls when is inclined (rear lower) and in stop and go traffic, when you accelerate very little or not at all.
Do you guys have any idea of what could be wrong? The emission tests are good, there are no leaks (as far as I see), the fuel consumption is OK,...
What could the accident caused to the idle (timing misalignment maybe???)?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I found this honda recall:
Idle air bleed may be restricted so that idle air flow is reduced. Idle speed may dip and engine may stall intermittently when it is just "off idle". Jerking during
deceleration, hesitation at acceleration afterward, unstable idle and engine stall at vehicle stop.
Remedy: The idle adjusting screw will be adjusted, and do the idle learn procedure, according to the Honda Technical Service Bulletin # 04-011.
Does anyone have this Service Bulletin (how to actually do it)? I can't seem to find any idle adjustment screw ...
THANKS.
