Default Stalling issue?

i have been trying to trouble shoot my stalling problem i have been having since i bought the car few months back. when the engine is cold it wants to stall out i have to keep the rpms above 2000 revs and up untill the engine warms up and if i try to drive it before the engine warms up it almost stalls and lacks power, the engine lights comes on once in a while but not always, the problem goes away when the engine warms up? Do you think its my O2 sensor? any help would be helpful in this time of need, thank you

Has it recently had a tune up on it. Spark plugs, wires, fuel filter. I would check all the basics first before going into detail. Could be a simple fix. Usually and O2 won't be causing you to be stalling.

Oh it will lol. Before I replaced my o2 it wouldn't idle, almost stalling out, etc.

Op first find out what the code is. Don't go off buying parts. If you have a volt meter, it would be a good idea to check tps sensor. Also, removing and adjusting fitv could help with initial start up/idling.

if....you happened to have a vacuum pump, you could also check the map sensor, hondas tend to go crazy when map starts going, and they don't always throw a code for map/tps.

Does the car run rich? When its warming up, do you smell gas?

check this forum out.. its much cheaper than the exact one needed but the difference is just the length of the wire.. its much cheaper..i got 2 for 100 i think... and it never gave me a code ever since...

i was driving around today and the gas smell was really bad, when i got out of the car i was dizzy, could that really be the result of a bad O2 sensor? Thanks in advance
