Default 93 Accord Idleing Rough

I bought my accord about a year ago from a friend, who told me it idled really rough when the air conditioner was on and you were in reverse, other then that it was fine. I got it, and sure enough it onl idled rough under those circumstances, however after a few months of driving it, it started idleing rough anytime in reverse and has gotten really bad over time, it also idles alittle rough on and off at other times. Any Ideas???? Not quite sure what to think about it.

How about tune up: spark plugs, wires, distributor cup?

Sounds like your rear motor mount is shot.

Default fixed it

Well I fixed it, as it turned out i just sprayed some carb. cleaner in the PCV valve and it did the trick. I was actually idling rough because my rpms were at 400 when idling, when after cleaning they were around 650 which is much closer to normal, and it really smoothed down the car.

IACV. That can get clogged and you can clean it pretty easy! It regulates your idle and you can clean it with carb cleaner!
Try not to get carb cleaner in the coolant tubes!

I have a 92 Honda Accord LX with intermittent rough idling. Can someone show me with images or provide detail instructions to find the IAVC and the FITV. I have noticed that lately the car seems to run at a higher rpm rate while driving it. Does anyone have advice?
