    I recently bought a 1990 Honda civic. its idle is too high (around 1000 to
    2000) because of which it keeps rolling on red lights. Any thoughts on how
    to reduce the high idle?

    I had a similar problem with my old Legend. The service people forgot
    to reser the ECU. The engine would cycle from 1,000rpm to 500... it
    was as if I was revving the engine while I was stopped. They reset it
    for for a 13 year old car with 290k miles on it it idles at < 500rpm.
    Actually I think my CL idles higher than that Legend.
