Car problem, 2000 Honda Accord V6. Details below?
Having car troubles.
My car is a 2000 Honda Accord V6
Symptoms-
1) Revving while parked
2) Idling at 2k rpm when stopped at lights
3) Much louder than normal when stopped
4) Revs when down shifting to (I think) 1st gear (its automatic) when i'm going to stop
5) Hard to brake/brake sounds like its kind of grinding when I stop and when i go again
6) Temperature gauge was higher than normal
7) When i stopped the car and opened hood the engine felt very hot, and was smelling
8) Check engine light came on (It is late at night so I haven't been able to bring it in to place to get code)
9) It sounds like air flow is not quite right
What i checked-
1) Oil level/color is good
2) Coolant level is good
3) Brakes got changed not long ago
4) Oil got changed not long ago
What i've been able to narrow the problems to being down to-
1) Vacuum leak (pretty sure on this because air flow sounds screwed up when listening to it
2) IAC valve issue
3) EGR valve issue
4) (Maybe) coolant problem (although levels are good?)
I won't even pretend to be a big car person, but I have enough common sense/physics knowledge to figure out what i listed above. I plan on bringing It in to a place by me at 9am (its 2am right now) and want to have an idea of what it could be so I don't get ripped off. Any answers by then would be great.
Added (1). Another symptom i forgot about - It seems to be/feel like its accelerating on its own as i drive (no cruise control is not on durrr)
Hi so the cause of all these issues and faults is simple.A 17 years old car. As it is now twice the age it was meant to last this is why it has all these problems. There's only one cure a NEW CAR.
Vacuum leak, bad MAF sensor, bad IACV, maybe a clogged radiator or weak water pump, old coolant, running lean, stuck open EGR valve and/or PCV valve, corroded brake slide pins, seized calipers, warped rotors.
Get a cheap code reader, or start hunting for problems after you get the codes read.
no sense going on wild goose chases when you have hard info sitting there available to you
Without a code or codes, we're just guessing. I'd guess a vacuum leak, maybe a hole or air intake hose off
Everything is related to that high idle.

- Bought a car leased. After driving it around I do not like it. Would I lose a lot of money? Details below? Got Honda CRV about market price. However, also got a long term loan with extended warranty. Assuming I trade it back in a month later after I got it would I lose money in the warranty and trade down value?
