Default idle drops from intermittenly

Hi,

Posted before on this topic. 95 accord vtech codes are clear high milage 250k running well.
At idle when stoped in gear on and off the idle will drop about 100 rpms havent put it on a tach just using the one in the dash. When the idle drops the car runs rough meaing you can feel a shake. Any advise appreciated.

Lee

Any other issues with it under acceleration? what's the last tune-up work you've done to it and how long ago?

pull loose the IACV and use some Berrymans B-12 to blast out all the soot from the screen.
Then while you have the Berrymans in your hand, grab up a softbristle brush [wifes toothbrush works great] and scrub out the ring of crud around the throttle plate.
I hold the throttle open by using a long screw driver under the cable and bracing it on the top of the intake.

The IACV is to the behind and right of the throttle body. Its held in by two bolts, has two coolant lines, and a three pin plug going to it.
