Idle? what idle? i dont see no freakin idle!
i was soooo close to hittin 200k without a problem but NOOOO! after my car warms up a little and i let it go down to idle sometimes it will bog down sometimes it will totally die. what could my problem be? i figure it might be a sensor or some crap. it runs great but when i try to let it idle half the time it dies. why me?! help some one.

Just need to adjust it.......disconnect the IACV from the intake manifold and find the screw on the trottle body (flat head) turn it clock wise. Then attempt to start and see if the idle is higher. Once you get it high enough to keep the car running, slowly turn it down while running to 500ish rpm's and then reconnect your IACV and reset your ECU.

Or you might need to replace the valve. This is a problem w/ all types of honda, doesn't matter what model...
