2005 Honda Accord Ex low idle problem

I have a 2005 Honda Accord Ex. I have a low idle problem. The wheel and the entire car vibrates as well. It get's worse when the air condition is on. What is the problem? How can I fix this?

Is Check Engine Light on? If yes, get codes from Autozone, et al and pos them.

Shop manual advises "Trouble shoot the FR signal circuit" and Test throttle body (throttle plate dirty and binding). FR circuit is likely the Field Rectifier, but I did not see an explanation of acronym.

If you plan to DIY a shop manual is essential. automanualsource.com can supply an emanual for $21.99, a great buy.

good luck
