Low Idles, then stall

HI, I have a 97 Honda Civic LX. I just hit the 113000. Recently the car have been idling at low idles, 100-400, and often stall. Disregarding that its a 97, Can anyone offer a suggestions on how to fix this problems or someone with similar problems tell me how to fix it? thanks alot.

(FYI). I replaced the factory air intake with AEM Cold Air Intake 3 years ago. It stalled for the first few days of the modification, but after I changed the hose and it was fine (idle was low but didn't stall) Now its acting up.

adjust the throttle cable or check to see if it's loose. If that's not the problem, take it to Honda and have them run a diagnostic... it could be a number of things.

yea, check the throttle cable, and if it still continues, try reseting the ecu, if that continues then go to honda and run a diagnostic like ^ said.

Also try to clean the throttle body with cleaner and a soft cloth.
