    96 Honda Civic stalling?
    Not sure What's going on with my 96 Honda Civic.Just got it a few months ago and this stalling problem just popped up...
    It only happens the 2nd time I start my car ( for the day ).It starts fine,runs fine..
    This happens when I am turning out of my driveway,it acts like it wants to stall,engine shakes a little,and when I press the gas it won't go. But starts up fine and works after and doesn't stall again.( until the next day/time it happens)
    Does anyone know what it could be?

    Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil inside the distributor. Be sure to apply silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the new ICM. That should solve the problem. If the distributor cap and rotor have not been replaced in 60,000 miles, I would change them too.
