    i recently ran into a issue with the idle on my 96 accord, i found a
    thread that the subscriber said he found the problem to be his motor
    was firing a complete 180, i'm not sure what that means, but his
    original problem is exactly what i'm going thru. if someone can explain
    that firing 180 thing i would appreciate it.

    Can you please reproduce the description of the symptoms?

    It's hard to remember who said what here.

    Ok, I've got a 94 accord. The motor runs fine when i just turn it on.
    But then the idle starts jumping around. When im on the gas it does
    fine but as soon as i let off the gas it starts to sputter. Brakes are
    a lil less than usual. When im at a stop it almost dies but never
    actually does. i have changed the plugs, wires', and checked for vac
    leak, i also clean the iac, but still have the same problem

    http://media.honda.co.uk/car/owner/media/manuals/AccordManual/400/6-192.pdf
    has a chart for troubleshooting idle problems. It seems to
    point to the EACV, which brings us to some checks of the
    EACV:

    Are the plugs, wires, and distributor cap and rotor OEM?

    Have you thoroughly purged the cooling system of air? If you
    follow the manual's steps, understand that it may take 40
    minutes or more for the fan to come on twice. Especially if
    you've broken cooling lines such as those that go to the
    EACV. That introduces air.

    Do your symptoms occur when the engine is cold, just started
    up? Or only after warm up?

    Report back with what you find...
