Default reving at idle

i have a 94 Acura Legend and and when i start it up iit rev's up and down but once i drive it it goes away? also when i'm in a light and the car is in drive it usually idle between 1000-1500rpm's and sort of feel like it's pulling the car. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Default Fast Idle Valve

Hello, Sounds like a bad fast idle valve. Make sure that your not low on coolant first. If your coolant is OK than replace the valve. I have tried to clean them & adjust them many times, no love. Just save yourself the trouble & replace the valve. Good Luck

thanks everyone i had a friend who had the same problem it was a high idle valve the guy turned the screw back all the way down and it stopped. He said thats a common problem that the honda's have and wants the adjusting screw loosen up it cause it to idle crazy but the screw can be turned back and problem solved.
