Car idles low almost to the point of dying. Car shudders when accelerating and the power is low. Seems to be better once you get up to full speed.

Hi fredblackham,

Honda does not have any V12 engines on the road. ;)

If the idling speed is too low, you need to adjust it or check for faults.

Is this a carburetted version?
What has been done and prior to this was anything done to try to rectify?
