Default 92 Accord with Idle Problems

My 92 Accord (2.2, 5 speed) stalls when coming to a stop. If you can hit the gas while stopping, sometimes you can save it. It has 230k miles, and none of the sensors have been replaced. I am guessing it may be a sensor, but I don't know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will start out with throttle body clean it with throttle body cleaner couple bucks use a tooth brush wipe it good, also theres a IAC sensor that get dirty sometime need cleaning also in throttle body, It's possible you may need tune up plugs,wires,cap,air filter and rotor, but do the cleaning first and try it. Good Luck.

IAC = Idle Air Control, are you on cb7tuner? we have a write up on how to fix that in the DIY section.

Sorry, I don't know what cb7tuner is? I am definately interested in the write up, I like doing my own work, just not real good with sensors. How do I get to the write up?

cb7tuner is a website. Google it and sign up. It will help you out. They have a write up with pictures as well. It's an easy job. The IACV should do the trick. Clean that out and you'll be fine.

Definitely check the Throttle Position Sensor voltage as well. If you do a google search, plenty of writeups are out there.

The TPS and IACV are two of the most common things to check when experiencing these symptoms.
