umm so im planning on buying a 99 ek dx model civic, i already took it for a spin drives great and everything, one gripe i have and i told the owner, and he is going to get it checked out on monday, i noticed when i stopped at a stop light my idle was right at that very first notch on the tach, looked like around 400-500 rpm, just above stalling, my exhuast was rattling, then 5 seconds later it would rise back up to normal 700-750

just wondering if it needs a tuenup, or if it is a specific part that needs replacing

it has 138 km, not sure how many that is in miles

thanks

might be the iacv

idle air control valve or a vacuum leak


i would still buy it either way if the price is right

that idle problem is a common problem in most civics.

5995 cdn, made a mistake on trader, but he is honouring it, about 2 g less then the next closest one for that year
