Nice car, very clean. I had idle surge with my 4th gen years back and it was because of the intake manifold gasket. It was a pain to change but it stopped the idle surge.

An easy way to tell if it is your intake manifold gasket is to let the car idle and take brake clean and spray it around the gasket surface near at the end of the runners. The surging will stop if you hit a spot that has a leak. Sites for parts...I'd just search around. I'm sure their is plenty of them. I usually do reasearch on what I want and then shop around for the best price.

well its funny cuz i can spray down the iacv holes a little tb cleaner and itll idle beautifully for like 5 days. then back to crap. ive heard bleeding coolant and putting in new could help but idk. a lot of possibilities ill try that too though.

Mine had an occasional idle surge about 3 years back. then my radiator cracked, I replaced it, and havent had the surge back since.
My wifes Accord surged when the t-stat went out this fall, replaced it and it hasn't been back since.
check your coolant levels, if they look normal, try new stuff. its probably the cheapest option to start with.

As far as where to go next, drop that thing man!
