Default Rough Idle cold

update on my 07 Fit. cold starts idle rough, if a/c put on, engine dies or if placed in gear, engine dies after a few seconds. Replaced spark plugs, bleed air from idle side of throttle assy, cleaned throttle body with cleaner, no spray. Finally took it to the shop and had the valves adjusted. Found out that due to the valves being a bit on the tight side, there was insufficient vaccum going to the sensors causing the engine to die only cold and blue engine cold light on. After adjustment, engine smooth and never dies cold or warm. Back to original. milage now 185k.
