No High Idle !! Why???
Since the temp has dropped my 98 d16y8 Civic won't high idle at start. If I don't keep my foot on the gas she shuts off. I keep my foot on the gas for 30 sec. and she low idles way low around 200 rpm.
Runs and Drives fine.

How do you check the cat I have replaced the 02 and I suspect the cat is going. The Engine light comes on maybe for a week then its off for awhile

The iacv needs to be cleaned as stated above. As far as a bad cat/o2 sensor. Are you sure you replaced the correct sensor and what brand o2sensor did you purchase?

If you smell rotten eggs then it's gone. But I also think there's a tempeture inlet and outlet test you can do.
Clean or replace the IACV. Also if you can get the code that'd be better.

Now I may be confused but doesn't the fitv control the high idle on a cold startup? I thought the fitv allows more oxygen to enter the throttle body and raises the idle when the temp is low.
