Idle hunting is a favorite hobby of Hondas. The most common cause is a bubble in the coolant - if the coolant is drained and refilled without bleeding the system it will do that. Look at the housings where the radiator hoses attach to the engine. On top of one of them will be a nipple, like a brake bleeder nipple but larger. Open it half a turn and close it when a steady stream of coolant comes out.

Sounds like the fuel pump may be going out. I'd have it checked.

It means you have bad rings or a bad valve seal. It can be fixed by buying a fouler.

You will need something to lift the engine so that you can take the pressure off of the mount. It sounds like your fuel pump may be wearing out and it is not responding like it should...The pump on the gas tank should be located on the top of the tank....Under the back seat....

Thats my guess, one hose leak, two head gasket, three, crack in head somewhere. Of course make sure the thermastat is working. If it is seized thats a problem to. If you get the head off make sure it is resurfaced before you install the head gasket. Good luck
