(Supersedes 02-083, dated December 23, 2002)

Updated information is shown with asterisks.

SYMPTOM

The engine occasionally stalls after the vehicle comes to a stop.

PROBABLE CAUSE

Ignition timing and the idle air control (IAC) valve response time may be insufficient when the engine idle speed falls below the PCM's learned idle speed value.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Use the Honda Interface Module (HIM) to update the software in the ECM/PCM.
