I have an 86 CRX with 49,000 original miles. It hasnt been driven in a few years and we're now putting it back on the road. It runs fine but dosent stay idle. (Manual transmission) On the freeway its not a problem, but on city streets with traffic, it shuts off at stops. Any suggestions what I can check? Thanks.

Did you drain the fuel and replace with new? Old fuel, especially that old will cause all kinds of driving issues.

The idle air control valve on the throttle body may be bad causing a no idle situation from the prolonged sitting.
