COLD IDLE SURGE ???
I have a cold idle surge that settles down after 2 or 3 minutes....Only happens
when engine is cold. The car Revs from say 1800RPM to 2400RPM "rapidly up and down" until it warms up Have checked for vacuum leaks and seems ok Idle control valve is a $258.00 part new and hard to find used! Anyone ever experience this problem ?? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Neil |

Had some surging with my 1991 Civic recently. I took apart the IACV and found
one of the cooling lines was empty. The cooling passages otherwise looked clear. (Others here have reported sometimes they do get clogged.) The IACV a high point in the cooling system. I did a very thorough purge of air from the cooling system. It took about 40 minutes in 75 degree ambient temperature to get the cooling fan to come on twice. This fixed the surging. How's your coolant reservoir level look?
