Low idle 95 stock civic

So within the last couple of weeks I noticed my car is idling funny. Definitely low. When I first start its around 1000 rpm but after driving for a while once I put it in neutral it goes to about 500. When I put it in first I have to press the gas down hard or the car starts to shake.its even died power steering and all.
Side note I did recently noticed a leak near the AC compressor Wich I recently had changed. I'm guessing it's antifreeze leaking I'm not too sure. Going to jack up the car tommorow and look underneath. I also picked up a new map sensor today. Didn't do me much good.

When the last time you did a tune up?

Re: Low idle 95 stock civic

Just got the car a couple of months ago. Haven't gotten a tune up. But I did find my leak. It's on the driver side and it's pouring antifreeze/water rapidly. Friend told me water pump but I was under the impression the water pump was on the passenger side. It looks like it's coming from a spot where a screw is missing

Re: Low idle 95 stock civic

If my memory serves me the water pump is on the timing belt side which is the driver side.

Could be a few things. Have a picture? You can use online parts catalogs to help figure out what's what also.

Center. There's a bolt next to that seems to be a missing screw

Re: Low idle 95 stock civic

I can’t tell what it is.

I would have it looked at ASAP if it’s leaking bad.
