Question

I have a 1991 Honda Accord with a very bad idle surge concern. Idle constantly cycles between aprox 1200-2300 RPM. I just purchased the car an have not had achance to check for codes. Battery was dead and ck eng light is not on. Car was parked for about a year for a trans slip concern (automatic) that I have not verified. What should I look for that could be causing the idle concern?
Thanks, Steve

P.S. I have checked for vacume leaks and have not found any, It sounds like it has a bad leak but I think its just the normal intake manifold turbulance noise.

Hi XXXXXXXX. Thank you for asking your question on Just Answer.

I would first make sure that there are not any air pockets in the cooling system so that the coolant temperature sensor gets a consistent reading. Usually there's a bleeder valve on the water outlet housing or you can run the engine with the radiator cap off and heater on to purge the air if any.
