My 1997 honda civic ex idles and sometimes turns off when I slow down or when I come to a complete stop. But if I press on the gas pedal the car will not turn off. What can I do to fix this problem? Please help.

 

It could be alot of things, start checking easy things first and see if it goes away. Fuel filter, fuel pump, spark plugs, wires, etc.

 

you can mess with your throttle cable so you won't have to push on the gas

 

i had that problem too, but from my experience at one time i set my idles too low to the point where at every stop, i would have to press on the gas a little to keep the car running or else it'll die....

 

Thank you guys for the quick reply.

 

Check for a vacum leak or adjust your idle
