My 2005 Honda Jazz VTi-s (cvt model) has a bit of an idle problem.

It cold starts fine and idles smooth (allbeit maybe a little low at about 1100rpm), but once the car reaches opperating temperature, the idle starts to go a big un-steady, it will sometimes rev well at 800ish rmp, then it will climb up sharply but not like a bouncey revving to about 2000rpm, then it may settle back and work its way up and down, but like I say, not bouncing, just works its way up and down over the space of 2-3 seconds.

I know the car was in a front end accident before I got it, but I don't know if this was the cause of something to force the car to idle the way it does or not.
