Question!

Did anyone have this problem before?

My car is acting funny this morning. Like everyday, morning traffic in Atlanta is horible. Stop and go routine. Anyway, when my car is at a complete stop, then start to go again, the idle gauge goes down then goes up. It goes lower than half way then go back up as you accelerate. It never done that before.

Do you guys have any idea what's going on?

i'm at 89k - I'm very uptodate with oil change. The car is now in the dealer for check up. I'm waiting to pick it up later this afternoon.

I had a 75k tune up - I'll schedule a 90k tune up pretty soon.

i know what you mean my tl does the same thing and i took it to the acura dealer and they told me that it's the air sensor leveling the fuel and air ratio, i still think that was bull$^*(^ but the car is running great. i think that after i put the cai and muffler that problem started,it also depends on how you drive too.
