I have a 1989 honda accord 2.0l fi and the first problem I have is when I step on the brake and the car gets to about 15mpr and 900rpms. The rpms jump up about 100rpms and backs down feeling like a pull on the car, and when the motor is cold it idles about 2000rpms until warmed up. When I drive the car to operating temp, and stop the car, try to start it about 15 to 20 min later. It wont idle. Unless I hold down the accelerator to about 1500 rpms for about 15 sec. Then it will idle fine. When I bought the car the timing belt was replaced, and the rear brakes were done, and other belts. Please hel
