Rough idle
Dudes, guys, ladies and chicks I need some input!!!!!
I got a 95 Honda Accord LX (2.2L, 5spd) with 50K miles on it. When its running in idle, the whole freaking car shakes. Not too bad like, but enough to get irritated.
It idles around 600-700RPM.
Today I cleaned the FICV and IACV and it still doing the same thing. BUT!!!!
Now everytime I rev the engine RPMs would go up and then down to like 200 and almost stalls and then back to 600-700. I'm out of ideas. Could it be that IACV has a small gasket leak or what? It drives me nuts!!! I priced an IACV and its like $206.90 I dont want to pay that much and then have the same problem.
Any suggestions, anyone?

OK budd you may be a big guy but now, walk baby step one at a time alright
Check your battery for correct voltage – if you don’t have that service you bat and check your charging system also
Check your spark plugs; make sure test your spark (I think you know how to do that?) If you have poor spark, then check all plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, coil etc.
If all that alright then check your fuel system, including injectors, presser test them
Once you know everything above is working right then do Idle Speed Adjustment
Now Car will run silky smooth.

Remove your PCV valve and LOOK to see if the plunger is missing, Don't rely on the"rattle" test. I've seen so many of these that cause the problem you're describing. If the plunger is missing or stuck open it causes a large internal vacuum leak that you won't find spraying carb. cleaner around looking for a leak.
