Icon2 97 lude h22a4 cuts off while driving

ok i have a 97 prelude and of course it has the h22a4 engine and if the car is cold i can start it and it will idle high but when it warms up i can drive the car up the road and it will cut off if i push the clutch in i falls down to about 900 rpms and will try to stay there and then falls on down to 0 to 100 rpms and will cut off and when i try to crank it back its sluggish till i hit the gas and then it idles up but if i dont give it a little gas it will cut back off or idle very low any one have any ideas thanks...........jeff could it be my tps....

Could be the tps.
Have you cleaned out your iacv to see if that helps? Or it kinda sounds like something with your throttle body not givin it enough fuel.

i used to have a probelm similar to your and this it what fixed my issue, take out your egr valve and clean all the carbon build up w/carb cleaner, while your at it dump carb cleaner in the port for the egr as well....after i did that on my prelude..it idled a lot better and stopped dropping the idle when you put in the clutch...btw there is a post on how to clean the egr ports on the manifold
