I just did a full tune up on my 1986 Honda Accord DX. Before the tune up, it would die as soon as, I started it, but if, I put it in drive quickly, it would run, but every time before, I came to a complete stop it would die.
I gave it a full tune up and it runs a little bit better, but still dies after, I turn it on, but takes way longer to die out. Before the tune up it would die right before, i came to a complete stop. After the tune up it dies shortly after the complete stop.
What other options could, I take. Thank you.

Check for a stuck EGR and Vacuum leaks get a can of spray gumout, spray the vac lines and maniflod area, when the idle changes, youve found the leak! You want the engine running and spray on the outside but do direct the stream onto the hoses, if it is a vacuum leak, the engine idle will change speed, then you have detected a leak, repair the vacuum leak and see how it runs! If that doesnt do it, you may need a new idle air control valve, it's bloted to the throttlebody
