I just bought a 1992 Accord with 84k for my teenagers to beat up on. Of course it seemed to run fine when I test drove it, but now it vibrates roughly when idling in gear and surges when in park and the radiator fan comes on. I've learned a lot by reading the info from this group, and would welcome any insight into my problem and reasoning so far. The car idles at 1000-1100 rpm when warm according to the dash tach. I know the motor mounts "go soft" around 750 rpm, which is spec, so I think the vibration is due to the fast idle. I removed the top from the fast idle valve, and noted air rushing through the valve even when the car is warmed up, which tells me the valves not operating as it should. When I push down on the valve the idle picked up. I cleaned the valve, but air still rushs through when the cars warm. Thinking that the electronic air control valve wasn't operating the FIV properly, I cleaned the EACV, which did have a dirty screen but it didn't help the rough idle. In fact, I didn't notice the the surging while in park with the radiator fan running until after I cleaned the EACV, although it could have existed prior. When I unplugged the motor on the EACV the idle didn't drop as I've read it should. I did get a check engine message and the car starting missing after a while. I cleared the computer, restarted the car and it runs as before, with the rough idle and surging in park. Now I suspect the EACV might be shot, and am considering replacing it, but I've read it's 0 or so. Is there anything else I should check or some way to tell for sure if it's indeed the EACV before I start plugging expensive parts into the car? Thanks in advance for any advice. Todd
