Cap and rotor
On my 95 integra SE automatic, I was having problems with the cold rev's, the tach would go up and down repeatedly from about 1.5k-2.5/3k revs, so I regrounded my transmission and my distributor and now my cold rev sits fairly stable (+/- 250) at 2k. my question is, if I put on a new cap and rotor would it stablize it anymore? or would it do nothing?

Cap & rotor isn't a bad idea, but idle is controlled by 2 things on your car...
The idle air control valve (IACV) is on the back of the intake manifold, the fast-idle thermo valve (FITV) is underneath the throttle body. Either one could be dirty & sticking. Clean em with carb cleaner. Sometimes the IACV is just bad, so cleaning doesn't fix it. Sometimes parts of the FITV come loose inside, look for stuff that's coming apart & rattling.
