Hi, my 92 accord ex-r 2.2 stalls sometimes when I come to a crawling speed. The clutch is usually engaged as I?m approaching a stop. The other problem I have is a hesitation while I?am driving. This hesitation can be described as quite a violent jerk with the tach going down as the car hesitates. Also, when the car is idling, the tach goes down to virtually 0 but corrects itself sometimes, other times it stalls. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I think the erratic tach suggests a failing igniter.
If it happens only after the car is warmed up, I'd be looking first at the ignition coil; next at the igniter.

It could be dirty injectors, but your description of the tach activity leads me to agree with Elle - sounds like ignition. Her recommendations are the way to go.
When working with the ignition be sure never to crank the engine with no place for the spark to go, or you will be sure to have a bad ignition coil when you are done.
