Default Weird drop in RPM's when slowing down.

I've noticed that every once in a while I'll be coming up to a stop and as I slow down the RPM's drop to maybe around 300-400 and the car begins to shake as if it's going to stall. But when I come to a complete stop it goes away and the RPM's go back to normal. It doesn't happen too often though.

Anyone else experience this ever?

Yeah, I do.. It doesn't quite get that low for me though. At least I don't believe so since I don't get the vibration you are talking about. I do hear the drop though because of my exhaust and I think its normal because every Honda I've ever owned to date has done this whether it be evident, or not so noticable.

I would say not to worry about it if you aren't getting a code, and your car isn't actually shutting off.

clean out your idle air control valve and clean the metal rollers, takes about 10 minutes.

Are you coasting/slowing down out of gear? If so just stop that silliness and it will go away. Stay in gear until about 6-10mph and than release the clutch. You shoudln't get the dip
