89 Accord DX High Idle Problem
Hello all, I have an 89 Honda Accord DX, carbureted, and I am having
some trouble. I recently replaced the clutch and CV axles. All of that checks good. The specific problem I am having is that the engine idles at 3000 rpm after warming up after starting. If I shut it off during this time, it will not start again unless it has cooled down. It doesnt over heat, and everything else works normally. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It says any time you have work done on the cooling system, you need to refill it to MAX, because the HOT coolant is used to perform several other functions, some of which involve your idle. 'Curly'

I'm thinking your monkey damaged the throttle cable... as in the cable was in the way for him, and he jammed it somewhere out of the way during the job.
