Okay, so my Honda guy gets me squeezed in today and they do the EGR stuff under warranty. I called and he said that the computer code said the IAC is at fault. Since they didn't have an IAC in stock, I picked one up near work for $100 ($20 over what my dealer sells it for over the counter). But hey, it's in stock, and I have a 3 day weekend to sort this out.

Now that I think about it, I probably caused the code when I unhooked the IAC and started it.

Here's the pisser. I pick up the car and it's running like a top again! So now I have a $100 IAC still sealed in the bag, but there is a no return policy at the dealer I picked it up at.

Oh well, I'm just happy it's fixed. And if one of you ever need an IAC for a 2001 :-)

Now here's some really good news. I got my complete set of HELMS books for my Accord

98-02 Service Manual
98-02 Electrical Trouble Shooting
98-01 V-6 Service Manual Supplement

So if anyone needs any info, scans, etc. I hope I can help.
