    Have a 2001 civic with 73,000 miles, as of late at low speeds and at
    times while idling at lights,
    the RPM gauge will go down close to 0, the car will shake (quite a
    bit), feel like it is going to stall,
    but not stall. If you step on the gas it doesn't accelerate much at
    all, then after 10-15 seconds it suddenly goes back to normal and
    accelerates. (this never happens on the highway, only while
    idling or at low speeds)

    Have had the following done thus far:
    - changed spark plugs
    - fuel system flushed
    - fuel injectors cleaned
    - timing belt and water pump changed

    No one (local garage and the dealer), seems to have a clue as to what
    the cause it,
    appreciate any suggestions....
