Idle Speed Fluctuates & Many Possible Causes / Ways to Fix It.
This is for Honda Accord 2003-2011.
There are many reasons your Honda's idle speed fluctuates. I had to perform many different tests. I have success and failures. But eventually I fixed the problem or problems. By watching my video, hope it can save you the time and money.

update 1: After I replaced the coolant see http://youtu.be/JBScaIJ_6Os, it run perfectly for a week until the problem came back see http://youtu.be/UCzxLBn6o9A. I then fixed the radiator cap problem, it run perfectly for another week.

update 2: after the previous fix, a week later, the problem came back again. Then
I cleaned the throttle & IAC valve, watch http://youtu.be/1u3XGC0sZe0
the car run perfectly again.

Since there are many components on either the fluid or air paths, you can watch this video and first try the easy and free ways to test to see if a particular component is causing the problem. After those free tests, you can spend some money on those components that you have to perform your regular maintenance anyway, in this way, you are not really spending money for nothing.

This way at least you eliminate a lot of possibilities so that you can focus on other hard problems. After you have done your easy testing, post your results here on the comment section, which one did you test? How was the result? Which one you could not test, we will show you some DIY tools to help diagnose other components.
