First of all hi! First time posting here and I'm hoping someone can help me out.
Here's my problem;
2005 civic se 1.7
I'm getting a rough idle where you can feel it in the steering wheel and in the seat when in drive. The idle rpm is all over the place from 1100 1000 900 when in idle. I understand that when it's warming up it will be higher but even after warm up it's all over the place. Yesterday I saw it drop to 600 and it was idling very smooth but then I took off and at the next light it was back to 1000 and rough.
The other issue I'm having is a random loss of power.
Example; air vents are full on and it loses power when stopping at a light. I would describe it as if you have the air on full and you turn it down two clicks. Then I take off and it goes back to full power. My headlights also dim a little bit when this happens and in the summer my ac stops cooling for a second and I get warm air for a couple of seconds.
I still have warranty on this car it's my first Honda and I'm not sure if these are common issues as I've only had the car a few months.
I have had a new alternator put in and a new battery under warranty in the past month.
I have taken out the iacv and cleaned it. It was fairly clean.
I put in a fram air filter last week and still no fix.
What could be causing this idle and power loss?
Thanks guys
