Whelp, got the car back together and was feeling pretty good about how things went. Found and fixed (3) vacuum leaks. Idle and emissions CEL problem solved, right?
Wrong. Dagnabbit, the problem persists and immediately came back, pretty much within minutes of starting the car, grrr. Ah well, back to the drawing board..
Still, today was a success, having eliminated possible cause #1 and fixing (3) leaks in the process. Will see if any info is on the web and ask my nephew, the Honda Tech, what the logical next step would be.
**update** found very small vacuum leaks at the intercooler connections. Changed some of the front hose clamps to t-bolt style and tightened the hoseclamps to engine. Problem solved
