Default Anyone have this problem.......

So I was driving to work this morning and when I'm stopped at a red light my car idled from 800 rpm all the way down to 400 rpm. It literally felt like the car was going to shut off on me. Does anyone else have this problem or heard of this problem before?

haven't looked under our hood for that purpose, but I know with my previous Hondas there's a screw on the TB that can be adjusted if your car is idling too low. how many miles are on your odo?

I had the same issue with my LS when I first got it and they did an ECU update and its much much better now. Kind of tripped me out a little too because I also thought my car was going to stall

I have the exact same issue, let me know what you find out. I'll probably have to head to the stealership myself

Turn off the A/C and fan, turn off the steering wheel heater and turn off all the seat's heat/cool functions (don't forget to check the rear seats too). The problem should go away. If it doesn't, that could mean you will soon need a new battery.
