Default To spend, or not to spend

Okay sorry if this was already posted, but I'm doin this with my cell. alright. I got a tune up kit from TAS. got it put in my car. dude ran a test and he said he found things. one he told me that the spark plug wire weren't spose to shake. then he told me that when he hooked his computer up to my car he found that the the CYP Sensor or the computer could be bad. what is a CYP sensor. and do I have to get a computer from honda. the car runs good except for low idle, which it still does, what should I do. .

Let's try this: if your check engine light is on you can get the fault codes read for free by Auto Zone or a similar parts store. Then if you'd post them we can get an idea what's going on.
However, if there's no codes and it's just the idle issue, you'll find several posts on idle troubleshooting on this forum.

The "dude" doesn't seem to know what he's doing. Spark plug wires aren't supposed to shake? You've got to be kidding me.

CYP Sensor is the cylinder position sensor and is located inside the distributor. If you don't have a check engine light on, you probably don't have any issues. You can get the code scanned for free at a lot of car parts stores, post it in Pxxxx format.
