86 Accord - tach fluctuations

    A friend has an 86 Accord LX automatic. He says on level ground and
    at constant speed, the tach fluctuates back and forth by about 200
    rpm.

    Well, I think that has to be the transmission going into and out of
    lockup. But what would cause it to go back and forth like that?

    After a past change of coolant, my 94 wouldn't go into lockup at
    all. But when they finally got all the air out, it worked fine.
    Could it be something like that? I asked him, and he said if
    anything his engine temp runs a bit high.

    Any suggestions to things to check?
