I am having these same problems with my 01 Civic EX. I have found that if I just start the car up and let it idle for a few minutes that I don't have the stalling problem. But if I am in a hurry and just start the car up, let it idle for 10 seconds and then put it in Drive, that's when it does the stalling for about a minute and then clears up. I have about 120,000 miles on the car, original owner, NO mods, just replaced the timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, air filter, oil change, air conditioning filters, transmission fluid changed, fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank, bought gas at several different gas stations... still acts up.

I figured I'd do some online searches before taking it to the dealer, so after reading on here I'm going to get some Throttle Bottle spray cleaner tonight and try that. I'll also check the battery to make sure it still has a green "eye" because the battery is still original.

Any other suggestions?? I was figuring it was a fuel pump issue since the car doesn't have a "normal" fuel filter.

Thanks!
