Default What is going on????

My idle at neutral in my civic goes from 1k to 1.5k then to 1k then 1.5k in a pattern and im kinda worried, does anyone know what it could be? its never stalled, perhaps its normal?

Do a search, I see new threads about this same problem on average about once a week.

i changed my sprak plugs (from NGK to bosch platinum +4) and the idle stabilized at 1200, what could have it been? the NGKs didn t look too bad... oh i changed the oil too, but hardly seems like it would matter.

Try searching again for idle issues. I know I have posted a couple of different diagnostic procedures to test...
