Maybe the idle speed is set too low.
The idle speed for most Hondas, warmed up engine, is about 750 to 775 RPM.
If you have a manual, you can adjust it if necessary.
Alternately, AutoZone will give you some help, along with videos to show you how.
Hope this helps.

Try to check the throttle position sensor, or idle control valve is equipped

Honda accord 96 cuts off when comes to a stop and will not start with engine light on

i'd have the obd codes read this will point to the switch etc that is causing the issue ,it may well be the throttle position sensor but i'd also guess at the camshaft sensor or the crankshaft sensor , with the codes you should narrow down the problem cause

Well, the transmission would be very low on my list if possible issues. Much more common is something with the engine, vaccuum leaks, too lean or rich mixture, or issues in related areas.

I presume from your note that the vehicle runs properly and well at all times except idle....

91 honda accord cut off

Here are the most common causes of surges, stalls at stops, low erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake
