Engine Performance problem
1998 Honda Accord 4 cyl Automatic 159000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a honda accord that just starting idleing fast about a month and a half ago. It idles right around 2000 all the time. I put in a new O2 sensor a couple years ago and changed a spark plug about 3 months ago or so and just changed oil and oil filter. Do you have any suggestions at what would be causing this and how to fix it????

yes ,you may have a vacuum leak, check all hoses and intake manifold for leaks, or a disconnected hose, Is your engine light on? if not. another thing is your throttle plate could be stuck, I would suggest doing a throttle plate and throttle body cleaning along with the linkage.
