I'm past thinking I can FIX this idle problem, I can only hope to stabilize it

I installed the O2 sensor today and everything appears to be fixed, no roaming idle while warming, stable idle while warm, and no check engine lights at all...I won't know for sure until my drive to work Monday morning or perhaps when I go out tomorrow for a Sunday drive. I'll keep you updated...v_dub_ya, wish me luck

How much was it?

I know someone w/ the same sensor broken, but a corolla and I think it's like $150 bucks.

is it original?

It's a Denso, which are pretty damn nice. It's not a HONDA one, but those are $268 for my application.

glad to hear, hope it stays idling ok

Thanks, so do I. I drove it to work this morning, when it was the coldest here (about 53F lol) and only once did it idle funny, but this time it was really really slow in fluxuating and after three up and down cycles it stopped and dropped to 900 rpm and stayed there. I am guessing I might still have a small vaccum leak but it's very small. So small that it's possible that if the idle is fluxuating I can turn on the A/C or vents and it will stop

this car is AWESOME!

its possible or it could cause it to idle worse because of the vacuum demand

not sure

When the check engine light was on, did you by any chance pull the codes from the PCM ?
