Stalled...

My wife was driving my 2001 Civic LX Automatic and it stalled while she was idling at a stop sign. The car wouldn't start back up and we got it pushed into a parking space. After being pushed into the parking space it started up and ran and I drove it home. However, the car has done this in the past maybe 2-3 times over the last 6 months, but always started right back up. Occasionally, the RPM's will drop too low when it idles and it feels like it's going to stall but it doesn't. I have an AEM V2 intake that I've had installed for over a year, but everything else is stock. The car has about 83k miles on it and hasn't had any work done on it since it's 30k mile service (I know I'm slacking on the maintenance)

Anyone have any ideas of what could be causing this? I'd appreciate any comments.

idle relearn. drive car til warm. turn off car and pull out FI ECU fuse or battery cable. Put it back and start the car. let it idle 10 minutes without using accessories or pressing the gas. turn off car, turn on and go drive it around.

clean the throttle body and the IAC valve. that takes a bit more work cause the tb has to come off and you'll need new gaskets. the iac is on the left of the tb held on by screws (where the coolant hoses go).
