My 97 Honda accord ex rpm needle is fluctuating while im driving but the transmission shifting fine?

There are a few possible reasons for your Honda Accord's RPM needle fluctuating while driving:

-Faulty idle air control (IAC) valve: The IAC valve regulates the amount of air that bypasses the throttle plate, and a faulty valve can cause the RPM to fluctuate.

-Vacuum leaks: Vacuum leaks can also cause the RPM to fluctuate, as they can lean out the air/fuel mixture and cause the engine to run rough.

-Dirty throttle body: A dirty throttle body can also cause the RPM to fluctuate, as it can restrict the airflow and cause the engine to run lean.

-Faulty oxygen sensor: A faulty oxygen sensor can also cause the RPM to fluctuate, as it can provide incorrect information to the engine's computer, which can then cause the computer to make incorrect adjustments to the air/fuel mixture.
