    1998 V6 Honda Accord - Idle Oscillates
    My daughter's 1998 V6 Honda Accord has a problem where the idle oscillates about every 3 seconds between 800 and 1300 rpm when it is warmed up. No idea what is going on. Someone told me that it could be the fuel filter (which to my knowledge has never been changed) but I can't figure out where the fuel filter is. Any idea?
