Now that the idle air control valve, map sensor, resetting of the ecu etc hasn't cured the car, I am letting the dealership do a valve adjustment if this doesn't fix it I will kill myself and it's not even my car lol

Idle is normal 800-900 when the car sits no revs even with the ac on, it's when you give it any amount if throttle that it struggles. Throttle cable was checked by a Honda technician yesterday

That means a VA has been done before, if the techs did it right this time.

From the factory, after break in (few hundred miles):

Intakes usually sit at .010-.012. Slightly on the loose side.

Exhausts usually sit at .011-.013, slightly loose.

I have never found a tight exhaust valve in 7 years and hundreds of cars.
