You may have a vacuum leak or your iacv (idle air control valve) might be bad

the coolant.... in ur radiator? lol.

look at ur "overflow" bottle next to ur radiator and see where the coolant level is. I think its ur IAC or something along those lines, but u never really know.

Check to make sure that all of the hoses/lines that are connecting to the intake manifold are secure connected on both ends. If they are, then most likely you have a bad/dirty Idle Control Valve located on the back of the Intake Manifold. Don't forget to check your coolant reservoir level and oil while you're at it.

oil is fine and all other coolant levels are fine....im gunna check hoses in the morning....i think it might be the valve

hey, also check the strength of the tubes.

gently squeeze the tubes under ur hood to make sure none are soft or are cracking... either will cause a vacuum leak and may really mess ur car up if it is something important.

dont squeeze too hard tho or u will collapse em.

well i took off the idle control valve and cleaned it...but im still having the problems....i checked my hoses...and the hoses are fine..its frustrating...i think the valve might be junk but idk...

u change ur spark plugs?

if they get fouled they could make it mess up...

pull and replace em, and if they doesnt work, take it to an auto zone and have em hook it up and see if it has any codes getting thrown.

Search for "fast idle valve" thread. It's the usual that causes idle problems on Honda's. Got mine fixed. !-)
