well I'm having a similar problem and there's plenty of coolant- - -however it is temperature sensor related. Try unplugging the engine temp. sensor that is connected to the ECU (it's the one with the two wires just under the distributor- -there are two of them there -- you're looking for the larger one) .. .unplug that wire and I'll bet you money the idle smoothes out.
My car's doing that too, and I suspect it's related to my stall problems I've been messing with for 9 months. Still haven't figured out where in that system the problem is and I'm not going to either-- - I'll be parting this car out as soon as I have the other CRX at home.
