02 Honda Accord Engine Rushing

I have had this problem about 6 months ago (Honda dealership couldn't find anything before it quit) but what is happening is when I come to a stop, the engine starts rushing and letting off (continously repeating) without me touching the gas. Maybe haunted? But has anyone experienced this before? I can't notice it while moving unless I look at the Tach then I see something is going on. This is the second time this has happened and if there's a problem getting ready to happen, I want to try and fix it before I get stranded. Thanks for any comments.

check the coolant level inside the radiator, then report back.

What is the range of up-and-down as displayed on the tach?

The range goes from 0 to 3 over and over. I also checked the coolant level and it is fine.

You have a bad air leak.

Either the IAC is stuck wide open, or something else is stuck open or disconnected.

If this were an RSX, I would say there's a possibility your Intake Air Bypass Thermal Valve is stuck open. Pinch the hose shut and see if the fluctuation stops.
