Hey guys, help me out here.
This problem has been getting a little more frequent lately. When I start my car up in the morning(almost only happens after sitting overnight) it will idle for a few seconds then all of a sudden the idle drops and the car will stall unless I tap the gas quickly. From then on it runs perfect and I have no more worries.
It sounds like the car is choking, either starving for fuel or air? Do you think I just need a tune up? and if so what does a thorough tune up consist of for a '97 LX?
If you could give me a link that would be great because I don't feel like paying a mechanic unless I have to.
Thanks guys.

Try cleaning the eacv.. Mine would idle really low and stall when I hit the gas when it was warming up and after I cleaned the eacv then it idles perfect..
