2007 stalls while idling at intersection

[Anthonymylar]

Hi all,
Have a 2007 Honda civic that decided to stop dead on me during my last mile of commute. A red battery light flashed on and I shut the car off and restarted. Worked fine, but every time I stopped at an intersection and it had to idle, it tanked on me and I had to restart again...probably like 5 times.

i just had my car checked out at the honda dealership. They said I needed new brake pads and that my power steering, automatic transmission, and brake fluids were dirty but that it wasn't a priority to get the fluids fixed.

I decided to take the car to a local mechanic who replaced the brake pads at a better rate. 3 days after this the stalling problem happened.

The battery never truly died and I was able to restart at each intersection. My Friend believes its a "idle relearn" problem and I should follow this procedure:

Was curious what you all thought. Thanks so much!

It's auto, not manual if that helps. Honda LX 2007

Did you ever figure this out? It sort of sounds like an alternator going out

I noticed, but would still like to know what fixed the problem

You don't seem to realize that the original poster is likely gone forever.

Wow, sorry I asked

I see, I'm new here so I had no idea, thank you for that information on how to check the active date, it's very helpful

After 4 years and only two posts, it's safe to assume that the OP has moved on. It's best just to make a new thread for tech questions, as you eventually did.

Yeah someone else explained how to check the active date which I didn't know about, thank you
