Honda stalls going from idle to driving

Stalls randomly when pushing on gas from idle(foot on the brake), like after waiting at a stop sign to turn on to a road. This happened while making a long drive many months ago. Towed to a mechanic and they couldn't "recreate the problem". After leaving for a couple days, no success in finding problem, drove fine. Added dry gas just in case of bad gas. This happened again today, after a long day of driving. Stalled after idling for 1 min then accelerating to turn. Car just stopped dead. Restarted car (about a mile from my house) Please help, depending on my car and don't want to waste more time/money at mechanic without having a good sense of the problem.

I recommend doing a leak down test. It could be valves or blow by. Also try cleaning the idle air control valve (IAC-V), the exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR), and fast idle valve (if it has one).

Change fuel filter to start with. It sounds like it could be partly clogged. If no change, change plugs and wires. I'm not sure what you mean by the "rumble strip" thing, unless it's shaking as a result of one cylinder not firing, and causing a shaking feeling. A dead plug or wire would also cause loss of power and stalling. Let me know what you find.

'96 Mystique 2.0 trouble with idle. replaced idle mixing valve. I don't get any codes, I have to shift to neutral at a stop sign or light to keep from stalling. It gets real rough almost a lope.

troubles at lights may very well mean a vacuum leak from a faulty brake booster
test by stopping and then applying the park brake and taking your foot of the brake pedal
you can do this test in the garage
start the engine , apply the park brake , place in drive
if it idles alright , put you foot on the brake
if it plays up , replace the brake booster

I put in another battery in my 2000 dogde truck.now it wont idle on its own.

Robert, You may have to try this relearn procedure.
Warm the engine, but hold your foot on the throttle as necessary to keep the engine running.
  1. With vehicle in Park, slowly release the throttle so that the engine will idle on its own. You may have to work at this a bit.
  2. Let the engine idle on its own for about one minute.
  3. Continue to let the engine idle and with your foot on the brake, place the transmission in Drive and let the engine idle for another minute.
  4. Continue to let the engine idle with your foot on the brake and the transmission in Drive. Turn the A/C on and let the engine idle for another minute with the A/C compressor running.
  5. Turn the ignition off and wait a minute. Check the attached links,

1993 Honda Accord loses power,stumbles I pat the gas and it will pick back up check engine light comes on and it will run fine

why not finish the tuneup, spark and air filter.
also the EGR valve is a 50k service point.
if the EGR sticks open, Just before a stop sign driving
this is a sure sign of a stall ,by EGR. failure (clean it)
my pat gas.
so you are really saying, the rpm drops way below normal?
at idle , then stalls.
but the fast right foot saves the stall?
below 400rpm most cars stall. 300 for sure.
the CEL will flash on just at or just after the stall. RPM based action it is.
and if the stall is easy to save?" is it, super easy,? then the ISC is failing, the idle speed controller.
if on the other hand the skipped fuel tune up, its all nasty bad spark then all hope is lost , for ISC and ALL.
do the tuneup first, see the list?

I would replace the fuel filter, double check your work and make sure that all plug wires are securely connected and going to the right place (we all make mistakes sometimes) and check or replace the coil.

I have a 2008 grand prix with 3.8 in it, it wont stall if i keep my foot on the gas or driving down the road. but stopping at a stop sign or sitting there idleing my car will stall. also it chuggs randomly...

Unfortunately, you might have to replace every sensor until the problem goes away. It is a matter of process by elimination. I am in the same position. Good luck

Car stalls at stop signs

will it re-start right back up?
next time try to keep your foot on the gas pedal to see if it stay running ( be careful when you do this, if you give too much gas the car will over come the brake and cause accident )
if it stay running then you need to replace an idle air control valve
