...if it starts right back up it's not the battery.

Alternator
coil
crank position sensor...

do you get a CEL?

its you iac valve! (idle air control valve) this thing controls the amount of air entering the engine during idle via the pcm......they are known to fail on honda's causing the engine to stall when coming to a stop. replace it and you'll be fine!

bump.. im having the same problem..Here's the catch i have a new distributer, new IAC valve and my battery is good..the thing that bugs me is that it does this when im like at 1/4 tank..i can feel it shake so i tap the gas and it stays on, but if i dont tap the gas it turns off..it starts right up when i turn the key..Dahm Hondas! lol

bump. MIne does this after heavy driving. For some reason tapping the brakes a couple of times raises the rpms. Need clarification on this as well.
