spray brake clean or sumthin of the sort on your tb intake mani and all of your lines, when your idle goes down, you found your leak.

Is the coolant topped off? With certain Honda's if te coolant gets low enough it will surge at idle.

all right here was the fix. coolant wasn't low, no vacuum leaks or anything it was actually pretty obvious. i took it off a 1.8 ls. that motor needs more air at idle then a 1.5 obviouslly. so i took off the tb and broke the nut loose that holds the throttle blade open just a hair to allow for air to flow at idle, being how the idle air control valves cant let enough flow. so i back off the allen bolt closeing the throttle blade just a little. put it back together and pow. idles smoothe at a little under 1000 rpm. theres your fix.
