I was wonderin if there was a way to adjust the gas going into the fuel rail with out an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator? If I keep the car in gear when coming to a stop the car staggers then shuts off, but if I put it nuetral and roll into a stop then I my rpm guage drops a little under 1,000 but stays on. Or even when I rev the car it'll drop between 300 to 500 then shut off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi h22accord,

Seems you have a prolem with the idling and you need to check the following

1. Throttle body and EACV. Get them cleaned up and readjust the idle speed.

2. Valve clearance. Too tight valve clearance would cause the engine to stall when revving up and releasing of gas pedal.
