I had the spark plugs and wires replaced in my Honda Accord recently and was driving it this morning and had it stall out at idle while sitting at a light. It seemed like it was fine but then at 70mph it would lose RPM and then immediately jump back up. I thought it may be a computer being reset issue, but wouldn't that correct itself after a few miles?
