Default 98 accord stalls at stop when engine is cold

Hi,

I have a 98 Accord with 214k miles on it. I just moved to the Seattle area from Las Vegas. Ever since I've been here my car has started to stall early in the morning when I come to a complete stop before the car has reached its operating temperature. Once the car heats up, it runs fine.

I've recently done a head job on it, replaced plugs, spark plug cables, distributor, both O2 sensors, and searched for vacuum leaks. I can't seem to figure out the problem.

My wife takes the car early in the morning and I've just been having her warm the car up before leaving as a temporary work-around.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Try setting the base idle according to this thread. Don't just adjust the idle speed at the throttlebody.
