(Long post, please read I really need help! )
So...I had started a thread a while ago asking what was wrong with my accord, here is what was happening;
It seems that quite often, after I go for a long(ish) drive, I will turn my car off, and then when I return to start it up a short time after, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes almost an hour.. I start the car, it starts up well, and then the idle drops to about 600RPM, and starts to fluctuate up and down.
This makes the car shake, and fells and sounds so bad it makes me want to cry, so needless to say, I shut off the car. Then I will start it up again and usually will have to give it a rest, and then repeat this before the problem stops.
Sometimes, the idle drops so low while fluctuating, that the car stalls!
Now... Fast forward a few months to today... The car had been doing this for the past few months, but it did not happen too often, so it didn't worry me that much. Even so, I sent it to a mechanic when it first started happening, he couln't find any real problem.
Now, the problem has started to occur more frequently, so about 2 weeks ago, I took my car in to Honda for a diagnostic. Well, lucky me, I get there at the end of the day, and they tell me they couldn't find any problem, and to come back when it happens every time i drive the car!! ... Now more often then before, I will go to start the car, it turns over and all, revs like it is starting, but the RPM's don't stop at idle speed, they just drop right down and the car dies!! ... And when this isn't happening, the car does the stupid fluctuating idle about 50% of the time I go to drive the car after I have driven it for more than about 25 minutes.
PLEASE HELP ME!! I am going to go insane!
