Civic high idle when warm

I have a 91 Honda civic DX sedan with a 5 speed manual. When the outside temperature is above 50 or 60 degrees, (when outside temp is below this the engine will idle correctly) after the car is brought up to operating temperature it will tend to idle high. If I am sitting in traffic it will begin to idle as high as 2000 rpm ( this is a good guess, i don't have a tach). If I stab the throttle it will begin to idle down until I begin to move again and then it will rev back up.

it sounds to me that the instrument cluster has gone bad. not for certain because I cannot see it but if you have a mechanic tell you that it is a very strong possibility.

SOURCE: 91 honda civic dx. Starts, runs for a few seconds then stalls

Try pounding on the gas tank with a rubber mallet or similar tool. (careful not to dent the tank) Try starting it. If it runs, replace the fuel pump (it's nfg). I've diagnosed numerous fuel pumps this way. Remember the pump needs to be replaced, if you drive it, you don't know when it'll fail for good. Hope this helps. Please post the results.

Good idling speed

This all depends on when you are reading the rpms becaus ethe engine will run faster when you first start it to bring it up to operating temperature than it will drop down to about 700-800 when the engine is warm. i recommend letting your engine warm up, than read your tach and if it is still reading 1000 rpms than reduce it down to 700-800. your ECU will compensate for this when your engine is cold.

this could also be a possible bad Idle Air Control Valve because your engine speed should be regulated by the computer.
