my car was plagued with all the weird idling issues awhile back, I would suggest cleaning and adjusting the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV). Theirs a how to on honda-tech somewhere, maybe someone will chime in or you can search and find it.

I replaced my TPS sensor along with the MAP and IACV. I'm pretty sure it's not your tps. Plus it doesn't cost you anything to clean your existing sensors. I hope this helps.

Check for vac leaks on your intake manifold and other vac sources. Also clean out your IACV and your FITV as well to see if it helps.

Also dont listen to these other guys, its not "normal" and most likely it is something small to fix. I have a turbo car on 1000cc injectors and that bitch will idle at 900rpm smoothly so there is no excuse your stock car cannot do that.

this is one of the most common causes. it shouldn't go past 2k on startup, they normally run 1200-1500 a few seconds after starting. the brief blip to 1600-2000 is normal within the first couple seconds after starting. 3k is not normal at all. the TB screw or vacuum leak are my guesses.

Once again, the IACV is not a difficult part to check, and it operates basically as an electronic choke for the vehicle. It will make the car run a little high at startup, then it kicks off when the car is warm. Also, if your car is OBD0 or OBD1, you need to check the FITV (also not difficult to clean). The IACV is on the back of the Intake Manifold, held in by 2 10mm (i think) bolts, a sensor, and 2 coolant lines. The FITV (if applicable) will be underneath the throttle body. If you clean those out and it's still doing it, check your idle screw on the TB, and make sure there are no vacuum leaks. Also, unplugging your IACV, FITV, or TPS while at idle might help you diagnose. Don't diagnose until the vehicle is warm though.

850 is oem idle but check the fitv and iacv and clean them, and vaccum leaks. then you can adjust your idle with the screw on the t/b
