Irractic Idle on a 1995 Honda Civic
Hello,
I have a 1995 Honda Civic DX, 1.5l SOHC engine, and the problem I am currently having with it is, when it is in Idle it will idle up and then down. Like if someone was stepping on the gas for a half second then letting off the gas. It will only do this when it is in neutral or idling. At first start up in the morning it will spend about 2 seconds in a full really high idle, then starts to do the up and down idle thing. I was messing with some of the sensors under the hood, and did find a sensor mounted on the back of the motor, with a wire harness plugged into it. When the wire harness was removed the car would go to that extremely high idle and stay that way until it was turned off and turned back on with the harness connected to the sensor. I'm not sure what the sensor is called at all. I'm also not even sure if that is the actual problem or not. I'm not very good with mechanic stuff, I usually take my car to a dealership but as I don't currently have the money to get diagnostics done I thought I would try asking my question here and see if anyone has any ideas. Thanks in Advance, Steve |

It seemed to idle really high for a couple seconds, then it went right back into the up and down idle. Anymore advice here would be great. But if there is no more to be found, ican surely understand that also. Thanks for the quick answer in the first place |

Test/replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM):

Hello, As the weather turns cold, my car will sometimes idle very sporadically - as if someone is pushing on the gas for 1 second, letting off, and then pushing again. Any thoughts?
91 Honda Civic, 1.5l, remains at high idle, 1000-1500 until manually turning off by depressing pedal. Once engine rev'ed over about 1500 does it again. Will not return to low idle on it's own. Does not surge like vac hose off. No engine code. If I disconnect the temp sensor at bottom of radiator...
I have a 91 Honda Civic DX, the engine surges around 500rpm (guessing) at an idle, seems to get worse in hot weather. Car runs great other than that but after reading other post I'm sure I will be replacing my master relay soon! I have had times when the car would not start, I just cycle the key...
