Default 94 accord ex stahling problem

my grandmother gave me her 1994 honda accord ex with only 92,000 miles on it. its super clean and is amazing condition and reliable.....unless i have less than half a tank of gas in it.
once the car gets to half a tank or less, the car will stahl out and die if i come to a stop to quickly. if i really ease into a stop (at a light or stop sign) its fine. there is no problem with starting or excellerating, just stoping.
ive taken it to the dealer and to 2 other garages and no one is too sure what it could be. any ideas?

Check and make sure the gas cap is venting properly. When it does this, go and unscrew the cap and tighten it up again. See if that cures it? If it does, get a new cap.

Where's the engine idling at when you're at a stand still? Rev the car up to like 5K RPM and let it drop back down. Does it drop to like 200-300 rpm then pick itself back up to like 700 rpm and stays there???

Probably needs a throttlebody blade, IACV, and PCV cleaning. Those are passages that the engine get its air to idle.
