car started then rpms dropped and it stalled

Story:

Ok, I've been having a rough idle issue for a few weeks now and yesterday I finally stopped being lazy and cleaned the IACV. Afterwards I did the "idle reset properly" DIY and all was great...no more idle vibrations. Then at lunch I go start my car and the rpms were at about 1000-1100 and would randomly drop, almost making the car die. I didnt think anything of it because once warm it runs fine.

Today I leave for work and the car turns over but then the idle drops, car stalls and wont restart.

possible issues-

I checked the plugs a couple weeks ago and theres oil in the SP tubes so I ordered new grommets, tube seals, and VC gasket. Could oil in the SP tubes cause this?

Could the IACV gasket be the problem?

Before I cleaned the IACV I checked for vacuum leaks and found none.

Ill update after I replace all the seals.

### UPDATE ###

went to adjust the FITV and it was Really tight! I eventually got it loose and backed it out a couple turns. Car runs fine now.

Have you fooled with your FITV?

Forgot to mention that. I opened the top while the car was running and snugged the little yellow thing down. Not tight but snug.

did some searching and if the FITV doesnt open on cold start the car will start then stall. sounds like what happened to me. I'll check it out later after work

still bored at work and found some more information https://www.ericthecarguy.com/kunena...on-cold-starts

that guys crv was having similiar problems. my accords idle dips when I turn the wheel. Also, when Im backing into a parking spot and I slip the clutch I hear what I thinkbis valve noise so I plan on adjusting my valves and setting my timing. Ive also had very poor MPG recently.

Closed off FITV will do it. Reference this post and the one that it references for more information: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...52#post3265552
