Low Idle when stopped or when car is driving
Car: 2004 Honda Accord EX-L Coupe V6 (NAVI) AUTOMATIC
Hello there, just got my hands on this beauty of a car but its having problems with the RPMs. I was driving it around the other day and noticed the RPM gauge needle was almost at 0. When I came to a stop the car was about to stall and I saw the battery light (red light) so I gave it gas and it steadied for a second and I continued to drive home.
What I've done:
-Used throttle body cleaner on> Throttle body, EGR valve and Intake manifold.
-I purchased a MAP sensor and when it arrives I will install it.
I am really lost and would love to fix this issue on this car. This generation Accord, the coupe version, is one of my all time favorite vehicles and I'm so stoked I finally own one. Please give me some pointers, thanks for reading.

Found out it was the RPMS gauge itself. Mechanic quoted me $600 to purchase a spedometer from honda and to install it. So I'm gonna find one myself and replace it, or see if I can replace the RPM gauge motor itself
Interesting. As per Tech8, this sounds a lot more like a bad battery problem. I had a similar problem on my car not long ago.
The alternator would be normally the second thing to check which can be done at the same time.
Throttle body and intake clean is always good to do also, but you'll generally find it makes the car idle and run rough, but not make it stall unless it's completely blocked.
