I have an 89 Honda Accord lx and it idles EXTREMELY low, less than 1000 rpm and stalls quite often. (note: it is an automatic, not standard)
any help?
The idle speed for my 88 accord lx is 700-850 rpm for standard idle speed. The stalling is a seperate issue. When were plugs, wires, air/gas filters and distributor last checked? How long has engine been running for when you stall? Is the temprature gauge high? Any lights coming on when stall occurs? I am not a mechanic, but a DYI'er. These are common questions I am always asked when troubleshooting my Honda. :)

I had the same problem in my 94 Accord. What I found out was that I had some major oil leaks. This had caused oil to leak all over the distributer and spark plugs causing the rough idle and stalling.
