I was driving my 1996 accord today and it was idling a little low. I was driving around for a few hours then when I was headed home I slowed down to take a turn and my car died on me. Then it wouldn't start back up unless I tapped the gas and kept it over 1500 RPM. Does anyone know what would cause this. After it gets over 2000 RPM it sounds and runs fine.
