      Funny you mention that because my other car is a 91 accord and it has that thermostat idle valve… About once a month in the winter I have to get under the hood and hit the stupid valve with a hammer to unstick it else it does the surging idle schtick when hot.

        My friend, have you considered cleaning the valve ~once every 10 years as opposed to beating it monthly? It’s not hard to do!
