Reread the procedure. You do not need to drain the coolant for the bleed procedure. The motor will be running during the procedure.Also, make sure you start the procedure with a cold engine and then let it warm up all the way0 during the procedure.

I just started to have this similar problem last night but in my case, the car shuts off when i stop or even when i put the car in neutral(it kinda just boggs out and studders) starts up fine after that. ignition switch seems fine. its a d16y8 turbo. But when i drive it seems like i lost power like it really weak. im only boostin 6lbs daily. i dont have any vacuum leaks, plus the weird thing is, i always use shell 93 oct. then i just recently put bp 93oct on sunday and then this started to happen. Please help it sucks starting up my car everytime i stop!
p.s. - when i come up to a stop in neutral and rev the car to keep up the rpms a bit, then it doesnt stall. only when i put it in neutral comin to a stop the rpms just drop

Start by bleeding the cooling system. The procedure has been detailed earlier in the thread.
You should also clean the IACV. If the problem still persists after both of those, consider adjusting the idle with the screw on the top of the throttle body.
lol i havent been on this site in forever but thought it was funny this thread was at top cuz i started it. was sick of all the problems my civic had and how it was slow and would only get fast with a couple grand put in it so i bought a 1990 300zx twin turbo and love it. just wish it had more than 2 seats 
by the way i never got the problem stopped with the civic lol had no idea what the deal was
by the way i never got the problem stopped with the civic lol had no idea what the deal wasthe cooling system flush was to solve the swooshing sound of water (it was an air bubble in the coolant)...just saying... other than that bro u mite need a new throttle body, or barrel/map/maf sensor... look into it thats what i needed hope it helps.
Air bubbles in the cooling system can cause idling issues. The bubbles pass by the engine temperature sensor and cause it to think that the car is switching between cold and warm, so it adjusts the idle to compensate. It's usually more associated with fluctuating than low idles, but it's a quick, simple, and free procedure, so I recommend it at the beginning of all idle issues.
