Thanks for the update. Did they check for air leaks first?

I am not sure if the new IAC valve is masking the indle drops or if it is
actually just better. It seems it isn't doing it half as much now with the
new IAC and an ECU reset. After the ECU reset I noticed better throttle
respones too :0). The gas pedal feels kinda gritty at the top or like it
is sticking just a slight bit. (new throttle cable, replaced by honda
recently). Seems that it is felt right at the throttle body when I give
the car some gas from under the hood. Can I clean the spring loaded
throttle thingy?
