Cars turns off for no reason....

i just went out and drove around and my car turned off 5 times.... the RPM's drop to the second fat bar at like 500 or so RPM.
it scares me cus it feels like my engine is dieing and it does somtimes, i havta give it some gas or it does that like all the time. it does that not only when im in no gear and when im in 1st with my clutch in.


Does anyone have any answers to this problem before i take it back to Honda to check it out

or does anyone eles have this same problem... let me know thanx

I took my car to honda and they asked me if i have ever drained or had a dead batt. since i have they told me to take out the BACKUP and the ECU fuse for 15 sec. put them back and turn car on with out rev.ing or anything, just let the car sit for 20 min. and turn off... Honda says this will reset the idle, at what it should be...

ill keep posted if it worked or not

Personally, I think the stalling issue is an electrical problem. This would explain why honda hasn't found and solved the problem yet. I think electrical problems are the hardest to diagnose and repair.
