    Default Car Stalls For No reason.

    it happened today at the parking lot. it was running fine b4 i got there but after i let the car sit for 30 min and turned the car back on it stalled for no reason. when i turned it back on it did the same thing, so i had to gas it constantly to drive it back home so it wont stall. If i let go of the Gas it Shuts down.

    you have to gas it when you let of the clutch... then it goes. if not, it will stall .

    IACV? Not sure how the fuel injection is setup on those, but it sounds like a stuck/dirty idle air control valve

    that wouldnt make his car stall....

    a defective honda iacv would make it irregular idle but not stall out.. sounds like it has cams... lol

    press the gas pedal, good to go.

    If the valve is stuck shut and the TB is shut, the engine will gasp for air, you get the 'cam' sounding exhaust because rpms drop below a stable level. If it runs fine except at idle, that kind of narrows it down a lot.
