idle issue
okay well first off let me say that its not the crazy honda 1k-2k idle that everyone else seems to have problems with
i could just be needing a tune up but my idle is never constant at all...or is that normal?
like if i started my car to warm and i didnt go anywhere, hit brakes or anything...itll range from 700-900ish i guess, and it feels like its lacking power when i do drive it...any suggestions? also it takes forever to warm up too, (92 LS)

The reason your car isnt warming up may be that you have a stuck open thermostat. Id need more details about the idle thing. Your idle will adjust obviously whether its a cold or hot start but is it varying from low to high?
it'll normally idle up to about 1.8k at start up, and then gradually idle down like normal but its not a constant rpm, it fluxuates like 100 rpm up or down
My idle is up around 1500rpms and a bit more sometimes depending on weather conditions, but i wouldnt worry bout it. Id to a check for vacuum leaks first though. If stuff like your plugs, wires, cap n rotor dont have a lot of miles on them, then i wouldnt bother replacing them cuz i doubts it the issue.
