Default Reving when idleing?

Sometimes when I stop the car will rev to about 2000rpm a few times then normal. Honda said it was because the check engine light is on and it can't "find where to idle".

Doesn't happen alot but I wonder if this has happenes because of engine light/ECU.

Thoughts?

Its probably your Idle Air Control Valve on the back of the Intake Manifold.

It simply blows my mind how many people drive around with check engine lights. When I worked at the tire shop I'd say if the car was over 3 yrs old you could count on it have a CEL.

Sorry man, but you fixed your own problem.
