Re: low idle
not to be a dick.. but the idle may need to be adjusted.
along with that, you may want to clean the IACV (idle motor) and make sure it's not binding up internally.
take a look at the ignition system components- cap, rotor, wires, plugs and replace if worn. this will help the running overall including idle.

Re: low idle
good said mark. how long has it been since it has had a tune up? and yes the IACV is on the backside of your intake mani. Take it off and clean it all up the run 12v across the plug and make sure the valve moves freely. The only thing about adjusting the idle screw to up the idle is the fact that he said it only does it so often

Re: low idle
Then go somewhere else all they have to do is hook up the obd2 scantool and erase the code. They did it for me the other day after I hade to replace both o2 in my prelude

Re: low idle
ecu's will go into limp home mode/ lowing the rev limit adding fuel and retarding timing so you dont destroy your engine when something goes wrong. I.E. the o2 sensors

Re: low idle
you can clear the CEL yourself by either pulling the 7.5 "backup" fuse under the hood for 10 sec. or pulling the neg. bat. cable loose for 10 sec. both will reset the ECU and clear any stored codes.
