Default 98 accord died last nite

Driving home last night, my car stalled out but i was able to start it right away and get home. I've been noticing some of my dashboard lights flicker accompanied by my rpms reving up on occasion. reading similar posts I'm suspecting a ignition switch and/or something definately electrical related. also when i turn on my headlights i hear a clicking noise on the passenger side.

thoughts?

Damn this is like the umteenth post where someone had a similar issue. I just got done repairing an issue on my car. RPM's were jumping around crazy. When the car died the RPMs dropped to zero. Car felt sluggish while driving, etc.

I fixed the problem by replacing the IACV (Idle Air Control Valve) You could try taking it out and cleaning it with some carb cleaner. I made a thread on the same issue yesterday.

Mines was straight the point. I will edit that thread and put more detailed pictures of the process. Removing , Cleaning, and putting it back in took like 15 minutes.
