Honda Accord Alternator Problem
My 86 accord (Fuel Injected) has been stalling out whenever the engine warms up. when its cold it will run fine with no spiratic idle. ive replaced the idle air control valve/ fast idle air, ported vacuum switch, tune up with new wires, new alternator, belt, you name it, and i still cant seem to find the problem, it will idle around 300-700 rpm on average when it warms up and eventually stalls out. i think it might be a compression problem but what else could it possibly be?? it also has a slight oil leak and sputters making air sounds out the exhaust if that means anything relating to the issue.

Check the valve clearances.
