maybe a new fix to stalling
I have had a problem with stalling for a while when at a stop. So I went to autozone and got some gumout injector cleaner and added it to a half a tank of gas, after I ran the tank out I reset the ecu and have not stalled for around 2-3 weeks so yall could try it and see what it does for you

One of the fixes to stalling would be to adjust the idle speed.
Now, if you do this, you would basically void your warranty on the car (meaning adjusting the idle speed screw).
Honda coats this screw with a yellow or white wax paint. If you turn the idle screw it will break the paint.
I also believ that the paint reflects off of UV light. So don't think that you can replace the paint with any yellow or white paint,
Is there another alternative?
YES! Adjust the throttle cable setting. Very easy to do. In fact, I think this is the way honda dealerships basically adjust the idle speed.
Try it and see what happens. I think the idle speed is set to 700 +/- 50 RPM for the 7th Gen civics.
You might want to put it to 800 +/-50 RPM.
