Car is struggling after long drives!
Hey guys,
My car is an 02 EX w/ 5-speed and just rolling up to 145,000 on the clock.
I drive 100 miles round trip to work every day, all on the interstate. I run from 75-85 mph with the cruise on the entire time.
After I get off of the interstate and come to a stop sign or light, my car shudders as if it's about to stall. My car usually idles around 1k but it drops to around 5-600 during this time.
I just recently changed the air filter, oil, and used Honda transmission fluid and coolant.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

While it's idling too low, get out and tap on the IAC valve.
If idle RPM changes that would mean the IAC valve is or was stuck
