hi everyone, hope you can help me. i have a V6 96 accord with 125k on it and auto transmission. lately when i start it in the early morning it will occasionally idle REALLY rough, until it warms up. doesnt do it all the time just maybe every other time or so. i had a basic tune up done and fuel filter change not too long ago so i dont know what could be causing this.

also, we recently had the AC charged and most of the time it works fine, but every now and then it suddenly starts to warm up - sort of in and out. it's not the compressor going on and off either, just the air seems to fluctuate from cold to warm.

any suggestions? thanks in advance. :)

that might be a clogged injector, and the ac compressor is not working intermitently ? it was supposed to do that. i have no clue about that. do u have any rough shifring on the tranny ? that might be a problem with the ac clutch. (both are contolled by the ATCU)

no, the compressor stays on during the "warm" spots. the cold air just slowly becomes warm and then eventually cold again.

i guess i'll have a diagnostic, dont, maybe it is a clogged injector. would a clogged injector only cause the car to do this sometimes, though, rather than all the time?
