Hey folks,
I own a 87 accord LXI with about 260k miles on it. Im having a problem trying to figure out what would be causing my idle to jump up and down when in park. When i start the car the idle is sky high at about 2k rpm, then jumps down to under 1k when in gear. I turned down the idle a month ago, but now its back up sky high again. Drive the car for a bit, stick it in park and the idle jumps up and down, up and down.
Ive checked the vac lines as good as i can for leaks and havent found anything. I do have a defective egr valve atm, just need to replace it. It really got worse with the idle jumping up and down after i did a small tune up (plugs, wires, air cleaner, ect) Now it seems to do it when im in drive and let off the gas pedal as well.
Any ideas where to start on getting this solved? Car runs great, but this idle problem is driving my crazy.
Thanks for the help folks!!
