Indian Summer,
To clarify, I think you mean to bleed the AIR that's trapped in the
cooling system (at the provided nipple) rather than DRAIN the coolant.
Some folks wouldn't know that there is a difference.

Re: 1988 Honda Accord Lxi rev'ing Up and Down
Had this problem on a 1992 Honda Accord. The idle air screw on the
throttle body had loosened causing the engine to rev up. The computer
would then try to bring the idle down, the net result was a flucuation
in idle between 1,000 and 1,500 rpm. So you might want to check the
screw (was on left side of throttle body opening on the '92), I think
the normal idle speed should be around 750rpm. I just turned the
screw clockwise until I reached that rpm and the revving stopped.
Good luck.
