Why does your 1996 Honda Prelude gallop when idling?

If your 1996 Honda Prelude is galloping while idling, it could be due to several factors, such as a vacuum leak, misfiring cylinders, or issues with the ignition system. A vacuum leak can cause irregular air intake, leading to fluctuations in engine speed. Additionally, worn spark plugs or ignition coils can result in misfiring, causing the engine to shake or "gallop." It's advisable to check these components and perform a diagnostic to pinpoint the exact issue.
