surging idle???
hey all,
I know this is pretty common in hondas, but i have an extremely annoying surging idle when I start the car.... I t slowly stop surging and finally stops when warmed up to operating temp., but I was just wondering if anyone has any good leads on the source of this problem???

Re: surging idle???
Sounds like the FITV(Fast Idle Thermo Valve)since the surging is stopping after the engine gets some heat into it.
Here's a more in depth breakdown of the cleaning process over the link above. You don't need to take the Intake Manifold off to clean it, I just take the Throttle Body off and plop it on my work bench and take the FITV off and dis-assemble there.
