stalling at stoplights

I don't know why but when i stop at a stoplight or a stop sign i always manage to stall. The bad part is i have an automatic 93 civic ex(vtec). What do i do?

How do you stall if you have an automatic? I didn't think that was possible...

I'd recommend going to the dealership to see what they say. That definately doesn't sound normal...lol

You might try adjusting the idle speed screw on the throttle body and cleaning the EACV (IACV) (see forum DIY).
