revs dropping below 500

recently i've been having a problem of the revs dropping unusually low where the car shudders, feeling like it's about to stall. this happens when i pull into a parking space or come to a stop as i depress the clutch. i notice it happens more often when the car is coming to a stop with the steering wheel turned, like when parking. my car is stock only with an KN intake. thanks in advance for your help.

take it to honda, it could be that they have to have the computer re-learn its idle and timing. There is a TSB on it. I had mine done a few months back and works great now.

I was about to ask if you had a pulley set or something...

i have the same problem. it only started when i installed the air fuel gauge. but at first, i thought there might be some rain water gotten inside the fuel tank because at one time i forgot to close the gas cap. so i emptied it..and it still shudders...so now i gotta check the air fuel gauge..i might have installed it incorrectly. if that wasnt the cause...i guess i'll just go to the dealer.
