It could be low compression like leaking head gasket, the throttle body was trying to make an adjustment…(??!!)

Did you physically remove the IACV and clean all the passages? Here is a DIY: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/foru...ad.php?t=62836
Thanks for the reply
Got it fixed today by cleaning every sensor that I could find on the car, and also using Seafoam.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply
It was a dirty sensor and the one I suspect was the speed sensor on the A/T. Although I did clean every other sensor and switch I could see s I cant be certain
Thanks
Sure glad it wasn't a head gasket!!
