    hmmm... after car is warm as soon as i hit the clutch it dies...

    soooo as in the title as soon as i hit the clutch the car dies and i have to pop the clutch, which is getting fairly old. now i cant even stop with out her die'n and and i live in a hilly area so its starin to work my last nerve... goin to work in the mornin is fine its comin home like maybe sittin all night is lettin what ever is cloggin what ever settle to bottom and i guess it bein hot the gunk starts to move more? idk im soooo confused. replaced both filters and even checked the pump all is good.. i had to adjust idle today to get home but i markd it before so i know where to put it back. if i can actually track prob down, also i been lookin and listenin i havent found any vac. leaks yet.

    Welcome.

    Where do you live? (Do you have emmisions?)

    As soon as you hit the clutch as in, put it in or take it out? Sounds like your timing is way off.

    I had the exact same issue and it happened to be a broken wire on the primary slow mixture cut-off valve.

    Re: hmmm... after car is warm as soon as i hit the clutch it dies...

    basicly soon as i press the clutch it the rmp drop like a brick in water and car shuts off. but its never flooded it starts right up... also i was readin another thread and saw one about clear fuel filters and seen this one guy had a clear fuel filter and like his mine basicly stays empty too not sure y the pump is workin and all new filters may this is a addin factor to my problem. and yeah i got emmissions but my buddy owns his own emmision testin shop sooo i not really restricted to them he can always pass it..
    ive seen other post about this same problem but none that anyone comes back and says oh hell yeah that worked and car is fine now so really didnt help...

    I have some questions. Does the car idle or it doesn't idle at all? If it does idle, is the idle smooth?

    Alright seems like you have the same issue as I did. If you look at the back of the carb, standing from the front of the car. On the back, mainly on the right side, there is a cylinder type solenoid that has a single wire running to it. Follow that wire, you should reach a connector that sits on the vacuum rail. Make sure the wire hasn't problem off and that the connector is plugged in. If the wire is broken off, that is the problem.

    Re: hmmm... after car is warm as soon as i hit the clutch it dies...

    I've had issues with my throttle stop screw backing out. Also, download the shop manual, it has a picture with a location of the primary slow mixture cut-off solenoid. To take a picture of it I need to remove the airbox which to be honest I do not want to do.

    Pssst there is one for sale in the sale forum
    where are you at anyway?

    If you plug off those vac hoses with the breather assy off, get some cheap carb cleaner spray and spray around to find vacuum leaks, the engine will speed up when the spray finds it.

    I'm with russiankid on this one. This is exactly how I would expect the car to act if the primary slow mixture cutoff solenoid was no good. Just because the wiring is good does not mean the solenoid itself hasn't failed.
    Go here:http://www.pauldesign.ru/honda/shopmanual.htmland download the shop manual. Page 11-39 shows the testing procedure for the solenoid.
    Good luck with it.

    P.S. If it is the solenoid removing all the vacuum lines will not help the situation at all, so check this first.
