Default Civic starting problems HELP
Ok so when I start my car, right away the whole car shakes and seems like it's about to die. Then after a few seconds it's fine.

Could it be the IACV?

Yes, clean the IACV and FITV, if you have one. Is the CEL on?

When the CEL is already on, you don't know whether new trouble codes are thrown. Have you checked for new codes since this problem arose?

Do you know why you have an O2 sensor code? Is it for the primary or secondary O2 sensor? What's the specific code?
