Maybe a vaccum leak. I'm not too good on autos, so I'm not sure.

That's about all you can do to it. OR you can man up and swap to a stick.

Default beaters comment

First of all, there is no need to go there Beaters, you dont kno me. Secondly, I was asking Prime Time since he responded with a legitimate answer. You said you dont kno much about autos, so mind your own Also, I had an 88 civic 5 speed which had the same problem

You posted you solution in your explanation of the issue. It stops when the car is turned off. ;p My X wife had this same issue with her Celica. Dunno what it was because she decided to leave me for a city cop before we could get the problem figured out.

I kno thats right superman! I am close to throwing it in a car smasher and if it makes you feel any better, i hate cops. Prime Time, no engine lights are on, just still surging, after the engine is warmed up
