My Lude almost makes me cry...

ok, i got my 1993 Si from a Honda dealer with "new" plugs, wires, belts, and all the other good stuff. It was running fine for about6 moths and now it is acting like it is pissed off at me for something. Ok, i am sitting in my driveway popping in a CD for the drive to school and the idle starts bouncing like CrAzY. It went from the norm 700 RPM idle down the 0 then to about 1200 RPM and then did that until I just decided to leave and go to school. I was like "what the hell, if it breaks I'll get a JDM H22AS." This is about the only problem I am having. It did stall when i pressed in the clutch to stop at a redlight and then also when i was backing out of a parking spot at my X-gf's apartment. My new girlfriend is hotter and nicer. Can anyone help me?

Could be a lot of things. I would suspect the ignition or maybe the throttle position sensor. If there is no check engine light it may be a bad plug or wire.

It could also be bad gas, or an obstructed gas line or filter.

I would start off looking at the ignition though, pull the plugs and have a look. A bad wire can cause the same symptoms. When its missing a little it can idle rough.

Then there are vacuum lines. I had some with leaks cause similar problems. They are very easy to replace, and cheap.
