Default Idle Problem

After my car is warmed up, the idle drops to about 500. When it does this the car starts to shake quite a bit, especially the steering wheel. I'm not sure what's going on here. I've done sparkplugs, cap, rotor, plug wires, cleaned the k&n filter, change oil regularly. Not getting any CELs. I've searched and seen that the IAC may be the problem. My question is where is it located on the d15b7?

Also, i don't believe this has anything to do with that problem, but i just finished converting my car from auto to manual and now my tach reads 0-100 rpm when the car is idling.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

i believe the idle is normal, but i don't think the shaking is normal.

Its either your IACV or you need to adjust your throttle cable so that the throttle body is open a tad more

i used to do this until recently i spoke to a handa technician. and in speaking with him, he told me you should never have to touch the idle adjust screw.

thanks guys for the responses!

so what i'm gathering is to clean the throttle body? or adjust the throttle cable? Can i tell if the throttle body needs cleaned if i remove the intake? or do i need to remove the thottle body as a whole to see?
