ill talk to a sponsor to have my car tuned then. Im guessing a mail in tune should take care of it? or does it have to be through a dyno? Im completely new when it comes to tunes, so id rather take it to someone to get tuned than doing it myself.

Default Idle surge stops when AC is turned on.

I’ve got a 98 accord with a V6. It sat for about 6 months. Recently fixed the axle issue it had and now I have a idle surge issue when it gets up to operating temperature. I’ve replaced the IAC, MAF sensor, ECT sensor, throttle body gaskets, new snorkel tube from air filter to throttle body, and I’ve used two cans of carb cleaner looking for vacuum leaks.
When it is warming up it idles at about 1000, then it starts surging from 700-1800rpms.
What am I missing?

You might be better off finding a Honda Forum. They DO exist.

What your missing is that your on a GM V8 engine forum. You should probably delete the post and move on before the local roasts start.
