it is a Honda certified car when we bought at 55000miles, The idle issue happened right after we bought the car, however, it is not as worth as at 72000 miles.

5 minutes warm up in the morning start, at idle, rev up to 3000rpm, let the gas pedal go, the engine will loose idel immeidately.

Engine simply die at every stop, poor idle during slow traffic.

I have changed spark plugs just few days ago. No help

Hi gangpw924,

You have an idling problem which most probably can be solved by cleaning the throttle body and EACV(or ISC, I do not know which type is used in your vehicle)
If EACV, you would be able to adkust the idling speed with the idle adjust screw.

If the above does not help, get a valve adjustment done.
