If it reset an idle code while you were driving around, then there's something wrong with the PCM.

P0506 - Idle Air Control System RPM lower than expected
This DTC is set when the PCM detects engine idle speed that is less than the desired rpm. Possible causes:
- IAC circuit open
- Air inlet is plugged
- Damaged or incorrect IAC valve
- IAC valve stuck closed
- VPWR to IAC solenoid open
- IAC circuit shorted to PWR
- Damaged PCM
Disconnect IAC valve and look for no change in engine rpm as an indication of a stuck or damaged valve.

Yes - GO to KE10 .
No - REPAIR short circuit.
KE10 VERIFY DTC
Is DTC P0511 or P1504 present in Continuous Memory or from the KOER Self-Test?
Yes - INSTALL a new PCM.
No - GO to KE11 .
KE11 CHECK THE IAC SIGNAL FROM THE PCM
PCM connector connected.
IAC Actuator connector connected.
Note: If stalling occurs, place a shim under the hard stop screw to maintain idle conditions.
Key ON Engine RUN.
Access the PCM-RPM PID using a scan tool.
Access the PCM-IAC PID using a scan tool.
With the engine at normal operating temperature, closed throttle and all accessories OFF, the IAC duty cycle should be between approximately 22 and 65 percent.
Slowly increase the engine speed to 3000RPM and return to closed throttle (Note: If closed throttle RPM is significantly higher than normal, ignore this step).
Is the Duty Cycle between 22% - 65%?
Yes - GO to KE12 .
No - KEY OFF. INSTALL a new IAC actuator.
KE12 VERIFY DTC
Is DTC P0506, P0511, P1504 or P1507 present in Continuous Memory or from Self-Test?
Yes - GO to KE18 .

ok so far so good. i took the intake off, cleaned the hell out of the MAF and the throttle body. i also noticed that the shop that put my CAI on didnt put a gasket on the k&n space pipe under the throttle body, so i added one. i also scrubbed and treated all electrical connections i could get my hands on. now idle rpm is around 7-800 instead of the 250-300 it was prior, and no CEL. by the way, i had a hard time finding the throttle body gaskets-they would have to be ordered at 12 bucks a piece from auto zone. i bought a 5 dollar roll of gasket paper and made my own.
