My 99 accord lx has an intermmitent starting problem. It idles irracatically & stalls. then when warm sometimes it won't start. the evac( I think that's what it's called it's a part on the back of the engine where the vacuum hoses go into it's a vtec 4cyl. engine) has come up on check engine light it's getting plenty of fuel & spark, just tuned up but it'll be running fine then start idling up & down then stall. then it won't start & not every time it'll crank & crank I smell fuel & then finally it starts like it's been flooded. i've been told the vacuum wouldn't cause this but wouldn't it be possible with the erratic idling then stalling problems?
SOURCE: rough idle stalls at low rpm's
hello first check your idle with the car running foot on brake see were your rpm reading is if your below 500rpm check your label underhood for your curb idle setting second see if theres a adjustment screw you can increase were your gas cable lever rest against your set screw underhood if you feel confident enough remove your iac motor idle air control valve if the bore were the end of the pintle extracts out to close has varnish builup our carbon it will stick creating vacuum leak type senario causing stalling rough idle sometimes even no start conditions good luck
SOURCE: 1992 honda accord lx starts okay then idles down wants to stall
a good tune up shall solve your problem. replace the ff: spark plug. spark plug wires, air filter, fuel filter, and an oil change, good luck!

check for spark and fuel after it dies.
If there is spark but no fuel, then the fuel pump may be bad or a clogged fuel filter.
If there is fuel but not spark, then the ignition control module or the ignition coil could be bad.
Also, check that the timing belt is timing the engine correctly.
