    1990 accord Only when the tank is about little under 1/2 tank when slowing
    down fast or stopping rapidly the car will idle down so low it dies most
    of the time, I tried removing thr gas cap when gas got low, that didn't
    help, when the tank is full or above 1/2 it will never do this are there
    ventilation ports/chambers/hoses? by chance on gas tanks? wouldcould it be
    something about the tank or fuel pump?

    Just curious about how old (miles and years) the ignition
    coil is, 'cause, apart from the fuel tank, this is
    symptomatic of a dying coil.

    Does it happen only after the car is warmed up, or right out
    of the driveway?

    Is the ignition coil OEM?

    Put the car in neutral and throttle up the RPM to 1000 to 1500 for about
    30 seconds. Let go of the throttle quickly. If the engine stumbles,
    the mechanical idle is set too low.
