Default 2002 V6 Will not stay running.

Hey Guys,

Hoping I could get a bit of help. I have a 2002 Honda Accord V6 with about 98k on it. It will start but the Idle is bad and will just die. If i start it and pedal it i can keep it running at idle, but then i let off and it dies. I ran a diagnostic check on it at home and no codes come up. I'm not sure what it is, maybe fuel pressure regulator? Woke up sunday and and thats when it began, ran fine day before.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thnx

#2 in this pic; With the key on you can unplug/replug it and see if you feel anything move inside it. While you are poking around underhood look for any vacum lines that may be loose.

Hondadude, thanks alot. That pic did the trick. I just tapped on the Idle Air a few times with a screw driver and that did the trick for me. I appreciate you help !!!!!!!

If this problem recurs you might want to drop the valve off from the throttle body and blast out the air channels/screen with some good carb cleaner.
Berrymans B-12 will dissolve any crud build up
