engine surging at idle.

Stepdaughter came home from work tonight (98 civic dx) & her engine was surging. As if someone was giving it gas & letting off repeatedly. I had her shut it off & restart with no throttle at all. Still surging. Not revving high, but not idling normally. Anyone have experience dealing with this?

Re: engine surging at idle.

check for vacuum leaks. spray carb cleaner near vac lines and connections, check for a change in idle. if you don't find any, remove and clean your idle air control valve.
