vacuum leak probably. check all your vacuum lines for cracks, holes, or misplacing.

Unhappy i checked the lines

i thought it was my vacum lines so i had some one with a crx dx with a zc in it to do my vacum lines. his car is fine but mine still has the problem. i am tried it with the pm7 and integra ecu and the problem was still there...could it be my distributor?

Its prolly your throttle angle sensor. Its on the side of the throttle body. Mine did the same thing just unplug it and see if it does it.. It will turn your Check light on but. it wont go up and down...

Yep I have the same problem with my ZC too, and having those urethane bushings in your motor mounts, you notice when the cars rpm's rise and fall because the car will rattle and then stop its kinda bothersome when your whole arm shakes. Thanks for that info as well i gotta check that out it might just be the engine mount bushings or the engine.

Alright so i just tried what you said Kurt, god damn it worked like a charm. So that means my throttle angle sensor is bad or is that just how it is, if i can fix it I know where there is on sitting right know i can get cheap is that the solution to the rise and fall of the rpm's. thanks again kurt.
