I have a lot of problems with my car. It may be one cause or many. Ive replaced the spark plugs, wires, distributer, rotor, pvc valve. I have no check engine light on. And I even wasted 100.00 at honda for a diagnostic test. They also drove my car and said they could not duplicate my problem. I know something is wrong with my car.

first off. When I drive at low speeds, the engine surges. When I go to a stop (stop at a red light) the engive revs (with or without a/c). I drive on a curved road, the car will feel like its about to die (cut off) but it doesnt. Has very bad pickup. Sometimes the transmission with shift alittle rough while driving but goes into gears fine.
ive checked the map, tps, and fuel pump.

I dont know what to do with this car. Someone please help. Thank you.

HI ktangelbaby8,

Your problem seems to be from the idling system and I would suggest checking the following.
1. Coolant level. If level is ok, check the coolant bypass hose to and from Idle Air Control valve for clogging.
2. Idle adjust screw passage for clogging.
3. Throttle cable adjustment, must have sufficient free travel.
4 IAC valve, give it a good cleanup with carb cleaner.
