Default Accord pulsates when start

I have a 95 accord EX with V-Tech engine. When it started getting cold outside, my car began to pulsate upon starting (accelerate up and down about 500 rpms) until it warms up. Has anyone else had this problem and what do I need to fix it? Thanks

welcome to the forum, check your idle air control valve.

Thank you for responding to my question. How do I test it? Is it something that can be cleaned or does it have to be replaced.
Thank You

take apart and clean it.( do not spray carb cleaner into the intake) might get yourself a manual if you plan to save some money and fix the car yourself. I've got one for every car I now own. and Save lots of $$. What I cannot do, I send to the dealer or a friendly mech to fix. or go to the library to view for free. Try autozone.com and register for free, and you can see if they have the proceedure in the repair area.
