ECU/Throttle Body Problems
Well I sort of knew this already, and really it's stupid of Honda to do. My system almost always sounds bad because voltage is BELOW 12V! Unacceptable, and I'm surprised everything is able to run like this. I know other cars without this problem, so maybe our alternators are extremely weak and can't stay at full power all the time.
When I took my car to the dealer for a system check, they said my amps were drawing straight from the battery. I have an optima yellow now, so it isn't as much of a problem. Still the stereo and amps are mostly running off 12V.

Re: ECU/Throttle Body Problems
You need an OBD2 engine scanner to reset the ecu.
-you can go to a mechanic or dealor
-buy one from a parts store
-buy one online
Make sure you used a new OEM Honda IACV.

Disconnect negative terminal from battery
Turn on headlights and depress brake pedal a few times to discharge residual voltage
Turn off all electronics in the interior
Reattach the negative cable to battery
Start engine and let idle (only) until radiator fan engages twice ... roughly 20 minutes.
