I don't know how to upload a video or would.

Start car it sounds good and strong.

About a min in while parked the rpm is at 1000 idle..

Then it starts to go from 1k rpm to 1,100 rpm

It does this steady for a couple minutes then it goes..

From 1k to 1,000 rpm dips down to about 900 ... that is maybe a second to do that then stays like that consistently..

Should I be worried

I hope so it was salvage title I am hoping it is something minor.

That valve doesn't exist on your car(newer). It's all done with small throttle plate and valve timing adjustments.

It sounds familiar to an issue an old friend's prelude had. It will run and everything, but the idle rpm would oscillate up and down rather rapidly. Now, there's probably a big difference between how honda and dodge make it work, but there aren't too many different ways to control the throttle at idle. I'd look for the throttle position sensor on the intake manifold and see if there are any other sensors around the throttle valve. I don't have much experience with this model, but that is how I would start. It doesn't sound like anything big, I hope I'm right.
