88 accord idle issues? {w/ videos}

Hey y'all.

I have a stock 88 Accord, Lxi, 5sp with 108k on her.

A few months ago, while in neutral or at idle, she would die on me. Starts right back up, though.

It was worse for a bit, then got better for awhile. Now it's as bad as ever--happened right after changing my tires? It's like she gets in moods. Following has been done:

new plugs
wires
rotor
bled coolant
cleaned IACV
cleaned FIV
cleaned throttle body
etc.

here are some videos of the issue:

I'm sure this issue is familiar to a veteran out there. Thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome in,I would have bet money it was a dirty idle air control but you cleaned that,try using throttle body cleaner first if no lmprovement try replacing the idle air control valve.good luck.
