low revs in park mode

hey guys got a question about whats happening on my car today.

so today i was warming up my car after sitting for about 3 minutes while the car was still in park, i noticed my car was doing low revs (about .5 rpm) constantly, I then drove around the block and it was fine for a bit. but it started to rev again a few minutes after.

you think there is somthing going wrong with my car??

my car is a 03 tl-s with just about 60,000 miles on it and got an oil change recently.

My first suggestion is always read Seafoamed the Ol TL thread in gen 2 and run a full can in 1/4 tank of gas and a full can in the intake vac line
There could be junk in the IAC Idle Air control too
and crud on the throttle body plate- spray cleans easy
Start with the basics of clean internals and go from there

Is there relation to use of AC with idle speed- it should go UP with AC on

My old 92 accord would do what I think you're talking about.

The car would start-up fine, go through it's warm-up phase, and then when it jumps to the low idle, it would do a silly idle jump - but only in P.

It was fixed with what the others claimed.

With everyone. Check out the IACV and clean it to see if that works.
