Does it stop surging once you left off the pedal?

Maybe the computer thinks its idle is to hi... Does it surge when driving? I've had similar issues. All it was; the throttle cable was pulled to tight and needed adjusting.
Try looking here for ideas... https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/surging-idle-issue-2909253/
-Hope this helps, good luck!

Guys... It's called Honda Idle! Those old *** hoses get old and cracked. Check all of your vacuum lines, you most likely have a vacuum leak.
