Either the Honda salesman sabotaged it, or it's protesting your unfaithfulness in dumping a bunch of money into another machine.

Just left the stealership and bought the young'un a Honda Fit for graduation. Still would not trade my van for a brand new Fit, tho. BUT, on access road, van died when I came to some traffic. Started right up, but hard to get it to idle. Noticed that my main battery is reading 12.14 while off and was as low as 12.08. The aux batt is at 13.36. Can someone get me on the right track to checking why the main battery is so low and why stalling all of a sudden. I do have the SurePower 1315 and am monitoring the charge on the VoltMinder. I did replace my dizzy last year and eyeballed the timing at that time. Van usually idles around 1000. Was fine before the car place, but then... I left it parked at the grocery for 20 minutes, and still same problem. Any and all advice is appreciated, but keep it simple to start, duuhhhh. Thanks.
