Got trouble code p0125. Car starts then idles way low then climbs back to regular idle. What is the problem?

run the fault codes first to find the faulty sensor

P0125 OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description Insufficient Coolant Temperature For Closed Loop Fuel Control What does that mean? This means that the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor indicates that the engine has not reached the required temperature level to enter closed-loop operation within a specified amount of time after starting the engine. Symptoms You will likely not notice any drivability problems. Causes A code P0125 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: Insufficient warm up time Low engine coolant level Leaking or stuck open thermostat Faulty coolant temperature sensor Possible Solutions The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. If the code comes back, the problem is likely going to be the result of the above causes (faulty thermostat, faulty ECT sensor, or a low coolant level).

Has it ever been tune up,

Code 37 is torque converter clutch solenoid failure. Transmission wont shift in and out of overdrive.

This is characteristic of a reset to the EMC (Engine control module). If the power is removed from the car during battery replacement the engine/driving parameters are reset back to the original factory settings. Running the car for about 10 to 15 minutes about 8 miles will begin the relearning to the idle.

Hope this helps?

PCM Idle Learn Procedure Honda Accord CarTrek com

run the fault codes
indicates an idle control sensor or other throttle / accelerator sensors

check and make sure air filter is ok, and there are no restrictions in hose to throttle body, check iac (idle air control.

Check the hoses - especially all the little 10mm hoses that connect vacuum pipes, etc.
There is a device in the throttle body called an Idle Stabilisation Valve - they get gummed up, especially on such an old car, and with NZ's low-petroleum fuel - lots of additives in NZ gas.
They are easy enough to clean - look for a lead plugged into the throttle body near the butterfly - you can unclip it and pull it out complete - they are usually about 15cm long, by about 4cm wide.
Spray it liberally with carb cleaner and make sure it can move freely. If not, a wrecker is the best bet - they are pricey new.
Good luck.
