03s have some issues you need to think about
-the trans warranty extension does not apply to all of them and acura is getting lees generous with the Goodwill on those- thats 4000 dollars!!!
there was a recall for timing belt pulley - need to see if that was ever done
Plus sounds like an idle control prob- might be throttle body failure, but service dept can plug in the scanner and diagnose
Salesman always say its nothing!!
see the many threads here on buying a car
Also look in the Off Topic link at top of pages,then scroll down and see Member cars for sale- thats the first place to look for a known good car

Its RPM not rmp. If the car has sat for awhile the IACV was probably just a little stuck. If it went normal after a bit of driving every thing is fine.
I agree with 01tl4tl. Let them know your aware of the tranny problems, have them tell you if its covered under the trans warranty extension or not, and see if they will offer you any thing if it isnt.

Anyways it has 63K miles and a luxus dealership is selling it ...price is $13000..What you guys think
Also yea after driving for 10 minutes test drive that problem was gone .car had excellent pick and there was no shifting problems or missing of anykind at all! how can i check if there was a transmission recall or that car or not! if there was a recall is that a good thing or bad?
