Multiple Codes, where to start
Hi, longtime reader, first time posting. 1999 honda civic lx d16y7 auto 202k that runs perfect but has a bunch of CEL's that I need help with where to start.
14 IAC (EACV) - idle air control valve
65 Secondary oxygen sensor heater wire (black wires)
67 Cat Converter
71 random misfire cylinder 1
72 random misfire cylinder 2
73 random misfire cylinder 3
74 random misfire cylinder 4
Now I am unsure of where to start. The car has NO idle issues at time. Car has no misfire issues...nothing. She starts perfect, drives perfect, idles fine, etc.
I commute 70 miles (35-35) a day to work and never had an issue whatsoever.
I have a spare 02 sensor that I can swap in, however thats the least of my worries at this time. Ive been reading that cleaning the IAC *sometimes* will take away the code 14, however....most have idle issues - I do not.
From my reading the random misfires I should start with a compression test, however....car is running fine.
Additional information- NGK Plugs (Gapped to spec) NGK wires, cap, rotor all new within 8k miles. (No issues after change during the summer) Of note fuel filter probably has 30-40k on it, Ill grab one and change this weekend
Thoughts, help, ideas?
Thanks!

I guarantee all those codes are related to the same problem, except maybe code 14. I would test the IACV. Unplug the iacv with engine running. does the idle drop and possibly stall? If so we know it's at least open. Then i would remove the iacv and clean it thoroughly with brake cleaner.
I assume you unplugged the battery to clear the old codes out of the computer and these codes are fresh? If not, unplug the battery for a minute, drive around for 50 or so miles and then report back with the newly checked ECU codes.
