Please describe the idle problem in more detail.

Reset the ECU by removing the 7.5 A BACKUP fuse in the under-hood fuse box for 30 seconds; then, reinsert the fuse.

If the CEL is ON, here's how to retrieve the code:

my idle sensor is bad in my '96 civic EX and it flucuates between 1 and 2 grand when sitting at a stop light or whatever.
