Customer Question

idle RPM goes up and down (1000 to 2500 RPM) repeatedly in odyssey 2001 EX

 

Optional Information:
2001 Honda Odyssey V6

Already Tried:
I never had this issue before. After the cold start the RPM should come down and maintain there. But the RPM keeps going up and down as if it is getting pumped. I haven't tried anything so far since I don't know much about vehicles. Thank you.
