Default HELP - 93 Accord EX Idle Problems at Start up and shut down- PLEASE HELP

Hi all,
1st post please help??
I have a 93 honda accord Ex, on start up cold the engine starts fine 5 seconds in the idle drops almost to stall then revs up to 1500 and the normal 900 and then almost stalls again, it does this about three to 4 times then idle evens out.
Then while starting from a dead stop when the car goes into second gear (auto) it dies sound like a backfire or exhaust pipe hitting the bottom of the car, I let go of the gas and give it gas again and it goes away???
Last when I stop to park and put the car in park it searches for idle, it goes from 800 to 1700 rpms about 3 to 4 times then settles???
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advanvce,
Tommy
Confused honda owner.

Thanks,
It has lost power but how would I check this?
I would have to pull the cover and all off?
