    I just bought an 90 accord, it was running great till i run it 30 mins
    then i slow down and the rpm needle goes down and the car turns off. i
    thought it was that the distributor wasnt giving it any juice but i
    bought a new one and still the same thing happens can some one help me
    out?

    You just doubled the cost of the vehicle. Tell us more details about
    everything you checked under the hood, mileage, location, conditions and
    don't replace anything until you prove the problem.

    To clarify, did you replace the distributor's--

    --housing
    --cap
    --rotor
    --igniter
    --coil?

    Did you use OEM distributor parts or aftermarket ones?

    First thing I would have checked was the coil, based on the
    symptom that it does not die until after warmup. Had the
    same symptom with my 91 Civic a few years ago. It was the
    coil. Because the shop was messing with me a bit, I ended up
    getting an entire new distributor (all of the above). In
    hindsight, given the age of the car and other known ailments
    (or coming ailments) with the original distributor, I think
    it was a good choice.

    There is a idle air valve on the front top of the intake manifold, try
    taking it off and clean carbon out of it.
