That is what I was afraid of - the code tells us what we already know. I
suspected that from the light coming on in the middle of the progressive
failure.

But Tegger was right and I was wrong - assuming the code won't tell us
anything is a good way of overlooking potentially important information.

Mike,
I advise you to buy a repair manual for your car. They sell them at auto
stores like Auto Zone, Kragens and NAPA. The best one according to Tegger
is produced by Helm--Tegger can tell you where you can buy it. I have a
Chilton manual and it has information related to repairing Idle control
problems.

I used Throttle body cleaner (one from Canadian Tire) and I am not sure what
the dealership used.... but I would guess they would use the right stuff.

My new IACV is in and will be installed on April 27th. I will post the
results.

So my car went in today to get the new IACV and they call me back an hour
later and say that Honda shipped a used part in a new box and that my car
isn't fixed and I have to bring it back AGAIN when the new one comes
in...... Grrrrrr
