CEL P0505 Idle Control System Malfunction - Dealer says need to change throttle body
Anybody have freeze frame data from the code? I'd say do like the above poster said and take some throttle plate cleaner and clean off the throttle body butterfly and the iac and see what happens. And codes will clear themselves after a certain amount of drive cycles without the symptom happening.
The local Mitsu dealer solved the p0505 issue for my car, one week so far with no CEL. What they did: they hooked their diagnostics computer to the car and adjusted the idle control motor step ratio (as far as I've seen it); this is shown in field 45 (on their tool) and they adjusted it with a flat screwdriver on the throttlebody to the value 15 at idle with no AC (it is ok if it's between 2 and 25). They said this appears due to fuel quality variations, vibrations etc. I have 10000 miles on my car.

Was getting the P0505 fault, didn't get it again.
