Hey ho....
My gen 1 99 CRV (155,000km) has developed a trait of late that the engine deceleration from say, 2500 rpm in 2nd or fisrt gear, the control ofthe idle/fuel control jerks the car around whereas the engine decay down to 1k rpm used to be non-intrusive. Now the rpm 'lumps' down..........

I have cleaned the idle control valve (but it doesn't gaurantee the actuator action is still smooth or as sensitive). The rear engine torque damper is weak and I suspect it may be a contributing factor.

I apologise if this doesn't describe it the way someone else may word it but it is sort of the way it feels.............it lumps down to idle under in-gear deceration........

Ta.
