Engine cutting out in corners and on rough roads.IAC motor good
SOURCE: 1997 Honda CRV - Engine just dies while driving down the road.
I had that same problem a while ago. I changed the coil and the ignition and I have had no problems since. Give that a try and see if it works. I have a 1997 honda crv myself and it seemed to work.
SOURCE: idle is too low, car dies, engine runs fine
An IAC (idle air control) motor is designed to adjust the engine idle RPM speed by opening and closing an air bypass passage inside the throttle body. The car computer or ECM (electronic control module) receives information from various sensors and will output signals to adjust the IAC motor in or out to adjust engine idle speed by controlling engine idle air.
An IAC motor is highly susceptible to carbon and coking build up; if an IAC goes too long without cleaning it can cause stalling and poor idle quality. Some cars are designed with a large vacuum transfer hose that connects the intake manifold to the IAC (idle air control) motor. If a broken or dilapidated these vacuum lines can cause the engine to lose vacuum which will allow the engine to run rough and die.
Inspect all engine and accessory vacuum lines to look for missing, torn or dilapidated lines and replace as needed. To check the IAC motor remove the unit, with the wires connected turn the key to the "on" position without starting the engine, the IAC should move in or out.
If the IAC motor does nothing it has probably failed, replace it with a new unit and recheck system. Note: while the IAC motor is removed clean (use aerosol carburetor cleaner) the passages the IAC uses to control idle air speed.
Good luck and hope this helps

run scanner for trouble codes, some auto parts stores will do this for free
SOURCE: 98 honda crv has p0505 code, engine shakes, no power.
Get a can of carburetor cleaner and spray it into the throttle body while the car is running.

The IAC is located under the throttle body.
But check the Power Steering Pressure sensor wire first. The wires are known to break at the sensor harness and cause idle problem. if it's broken then repair it first. Look from under car view.
