IDLING QUESTION...
Whenever I come to a stop or a light or where ever...My car idls up and down. I'm not pushing the gas or anything. It idls up to 1200 then back down so low that I think my car is going to stall then back up. Anyone know what this could be? Thanks.

Re: IDLING QUESTION... (crzyfool24)
I have had this happen with a vac. leak. That will usually cause uneven idle. Another more scary problem is a faulty head gasket. I blew a SOHC motor this way before...

Re: (crzyfool24)
Vac leaks are sort of guess and check unless your car is throwing a code. The idle adjustment screw is on the throttle body. More towards the firewall but facing the passanger side of the vehicle

I would certainly check the Idle Air Control Valve. Even in the Honda manual it notes to be very careful with this component.
