    Fuel injected Prelude Si

    My intake manifold gasket was blown out. This caused massive vacume
    leak in the intake causing idle to surge from 1200 - 2500 RPM. Other
    weird associated symptom - while coasting above 30 MPH, idle would
    remain high at about 3500 - 4000 RPM. When coasting slower than 30
    MPH, idlle resumed surging 1200 - 2500 RPM. Replaced the gasket and
    the car runs like a champ.

    BTW, I took out the whole EFI manifold assembly so I could clean away
    all the old gasket material. It was a PITA.
