Changed alternator, now car idles up and down in park

Asked by Guru7ZCFT Jun 04, 2020 at 10:46 PM about the 1997 Honda Civic LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 97 Civic had bad alternate so I replaced it and
now car idles up and down in park, never had that
issue before, any thoughts on what it could be?

1 Answer

Maybe the screws in the throttle body as well for adjusting the door into the intake manifold
