The troubleshooting chart in the FSM says:
Symptom: Idle speed fluctuates
Diagnostic procedure:
1. check/adjust the idle speed
2. inspect/adjust the throttle cable
3. inspect and test the throttle body
Also check for:
Intake air leaks.
If you want to try to do any of this yourself, post a good email addr & I'll
send you the "how-to" pages from the FSM (Helm book).

Cirene,
Is the rad full to the top, and the reservoir full to the line, per the

Re: Problem with idling on 99 Acura TL
I got this a few years ago on my bmw 325I. It was due to the lambda sensor.
It mesures the level of o2 i think.
