OK. Here is what I have going on. I just changed out my my manifold catalytic converter after getting the (Lets get high) P0420 code. I did the ECM reset and my CE light is gone. I have now gone about through about 2 tanks. One with a gas treatment.

I am currently running about 500-600rpm in Park with all accessories off. At that point the car starts to vibrate. If I turn the wheel or anything it bumps up to about 800rpm and the vibration stops mometarily and after I set it falls back down to the 500-600rpm.

The tech manual shows that the correct idle rpm is 800 + or - 50. It then mentions trying to reset the ECM.

I am also about to try a few other things. I am at 139k miles changed the plugs (Plats) at 100k. At this point I am going to clean out the EGR pipe and valve since I noticed when I changed the cat that they are starting to get some major carb build up. I am also going to replace the PCV valve.

I have read on here that the screen on the IACV could be clogged but I can't seem to find anything in the honda tech manual about it. I know it suppose to be located by the throttle body and I have seen it completed on earlier models but I can't find it on the 06.

Anyone have any ideas?

Just learned something. 8th generation doesn't have the IACV. No wonder I couldn't find it.

Going to try to clean the throttle body.
