My honda on a cold start idle fine. When it warms up it start fluxuating
drastically @ 1000 to 1500 rpm.  I was told it was a throttle body sensor
and that you had to buy the whole throttle body to get the sensor for that
year.  Need help. thanks, steve

FITV or IAC needs cleaning.

I have 2 complete 1.5L DPFI setups if you figure out what parts you need.

double check the coolant level in the radiator [not the expansion
bottle].  insufficient coolant sends the wrong temp sensor signal to the
ecu & it goes into cold idle mode until the revs rise enough to bathe
the sensor.  than it drops & the cycle repeats.
