Alright, usually when i start my car it sits at 2500 until it warms up, then drops down to about 600 - 700. Today i'm driving around and i was sitting at a light and it wouldn't drop below 1400 -1500 rpm. I checked my throttle cable to see if it was loose, but it wasn't. I really don't know what it could be. Maybe throttle position sensor? Can you guys please help me out!

So true. I have a big idle problem too that I dont think will ever get fixed.

 

i just checked my coolant level, and i was a tiny bit low, so i added some. Made no difference.

then i adjusted the flat head screw on the TB to adjust the idle, lowered the idle to 1000 - 1100 but it still fluctuates.

Check your Idle Air Control Valve(IACV), that might have gone bad. It happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Do the diagnostics from the Honda Manual, just to make sure it is the IACV that has gone bad cos those things are not cheap approx $120 from Honda.

if it was my IACV, wouldn't my engine check light come on? Mine hasen't

 

check the disturbor, ecu, if u have a vafc check all that, swap ecu if u have to and see if its doing anything different, i am not a vafc certified but i have a friend that is and i watch him do those stuff, idle problems are a bitch to fix
