Integra /(Acura RSX in USA?) 3 door DA8 1988 Engine revs stops revs ,stops etc on warm idle. runs OK when throttle opem a little. Auto transmission wont often shift beyond 2nd. Clunky and slow shifts especially when cold. Can sometimes force the trans into higher gears. Often shifts OK when you have done this.
Not Integra model not listed below
Here are the most common causes of idle surge, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake
