Unhappy Idling Problem

Hi Everyone,

I am not car savy in the least but hopefully you can help me!

I have a 2007 Fit Sport Automatic which I purchased in April 2006. It currently has 91k.

Last spring I had to have the oxygen sensor replaced and about a week later I noticed that when the car was idling it would jerk a bit and almost seem like it wanted to stall out. It got worse and started doing this every time I was at a red light or just idling my car with the brake on.

I took it into the dealer and they played around with it for a full day but were not able to find out what was wrong. They put a fuel line antifreeze in - thinking that it might be water in the lines and they also changed some filters. They were adament that it was not connected to the oxygen sensor and they even called Honda to get their take on it but apparently this hadn't come up before. They finally decided that it was probably linked to the air conditioning and it might just be a normal thing.

When I got the car back it was a little better and I didn't notice too many issues during the Summer. Now that the Fall weather is starting it the problem is back full force and is really annoying.. I am definitly not using the air conditioner so I don't think it is connected to that.

I'm not sure if this is related or not but I also notice when I am on the highway and accelerating quickly or driving over 100 km/hr it sometimes stutters a bit.

Hopefully someone has had a similar experience and will be able to help me!

Thanks

I'd check to make sure the spark plugs are good, and I'd also be looking for a vacuum leak.

X2 but if you took it to a dealer I would hope that is one of the first things to check

well the spark plugs are "supposed" to last 100k miles. I wouldn't put it past them to just assume that they are still good because it hasn't been 100k yet.
