When I step on the gas and then let it go with the AC on, as I let off the idle drops below 1000 for a second then comes back to normal.

Can someone help me out with this problem? My other accord doesn't do this.

that is normal

 

Mine does that.

 

your idle normally should be at about 600-750 rpm.. and when u put on the ac, or drain alot of juice..it will go down for a lil bit and then get back alright

 

Remove the air intake hose from the throttle body. Hold the throttle valve wide open and take a look inside. If you see alot black carbon deposits, that may be the reason for the low idle issues. The idle air control valve (IACV) may be "coked up" with carbon deposits. Valvoline makes a nice kit for intake system cleaning. It's called "Syn-power trio".
The ECM receives a signal from the A/C system to idle up the engine when the compressor is activated which is where the IACV comes in. If it's "coked" up with deposits, it's operation may be sluggish.
