---------------------------

The only thing we don't know about your new car is the mileage. You may
not have to change the spark plug wires. They seem to last forever. The
oil pan leak is often no worry either. Since the vehicle is new-to-you,
you should probably run a can of injector cleaner thru it, OR a couple
tanks of Gasohol, to clean out any sludge or water in the fuel system.
This may well cure the stalling. Read the owner's manual and look thru
the previous service records to get an understanding of what should be
done. If it was serviced at a Honda dealer (we don't know what country
you're in), they are very helpful and might give you reprints of recent
work orders. Again, depending on the mileage, the tranny fluid might
need to be changed, and the Timing Belt might be overdue.
