every now and then i would start my 1st gen 3.0 and it would idle like under 700 and stutter and barely run. i would drive it for 2 mins and it would go away. then once it refused to keep running so i let it sit and a while later tried it and it was fine so i brought it to the acura dealer and they fixed it, it being the alternator. it didn't do it for a while but it still does the low idle sometimes, but rarely. i also noticecd that all the lights in the car got a lot brighter at the time when the engine reved up, hehe

i know that didn't help, but if its really bad it could be timing or ecu issues, wiring, etc, lots of potential causes

When mine's warmed up, it idle at around 750RPM. So far, it seems normal.

Lots of stuff going into the car soon huh? Where are you getting the clear lens from?
