450 to 500 seems a little low for an idle. My civic stock idles at about 600, but with the adds like exhaust and stuff your idle will drop, my idle cold is about 2000rpm but once its warm is about 500

the only mod i have right now is an intake, a while ago my engine light went on, and when i took it in they said it was the iacv and they fixed it, car runs good and everything so i guess its nothing to worry about.

Need to replace the idler control sensor on the back of the intake manifold. Had that problem too, pissed me off, everyone always thought I wanted to run them becauswd it sounde like I was reving my engine at them.
