My 2002 Honda Odyssey can't stay at the right RPMs. It happened out of the blue yesterday, and at first it was trying to rev really high, even when I had it in park or with my foot on the brake. Now, when I stop or put my foot on the brake, it wants to stall out. What could be wrong?

Try cleaning out the idle air control valve ad see what happens-also look for vacuum leak at the brake booster hose and booster itself-also check the EGR valve

Take it to an auto parts store that can scan the engine computer for trouble codes (Pep Boys, Autozone). If you get code P0507 then replace the Idle Air Control Valve. This happened to me and I tried cleaning the IACV and that did not fix it, but replacing it did.
