Default My crx keeps cutting off at stop lights! NEED HELP!

I have a 89 honda CRX with a 1st gen B16A, PR3 ecu, Hasport DX to SIR wiring harness and type R tranny. I did the swap, car started up ran pretty good,so i drove it around the block.Every time i come to a stop sign the car idle's allthe way down then cuts off. i got both o2 sensors wired up correctly. Car will idle when started and runs great while driving it. but stop lights it will cut off

What should fuel pressure be?
just replaced idle air control valve(did nothing)
someone help me!

Have you set the idle speed correctly?

Are there any CELs?
