Default MY SWAP SOUNDS LIKE ITS DIEING

whats wrong: check engine light is on and it says its the agr or something .

what happens. after the car is warmed up for awhile it start going crazy on me.. i'll be at a stop light and it will go from 600 rpm all the way to 1300 (about) and then back down.. up and down it keeps going.. it only does this when the car is stopped.

please help me .. they tell me hondata might fix it but is there any other way... what could be wrong.. thanks

if you havfe a bouncing idle you may have a vacuum leak. Make sure all the open ports are capped on the intake manifold.

my engine swap did the same thing check the idle air control valve the adjustment screw should be above the throttle body that could be part of the problem james
