The click, click, clicking is most likely your catalytic converter. That sucker gets extremely hot, and when you take away the heat source (the exhaust) that has caused it to get so hot (hot things expand) it then begins to cool down and contract. It's normal.

I can settle for $333,333.33, no big deal.

What area of the driver side is the rattle coming from? "The driver's side" isn't very specific.

The rpm's thing is unusual, considering it just got a "complete tuneup". Do you have an aftermarket IM or TB? If those types of things aern't installed correctly they can easily cause a wacky idle.
What mods do you have done, if any?

What kind of Integra do you have, btw. It says Integra under your screenname, but that part we already know. What model? what year? just curious...

that rpm change is from your car warming up i think it's normal my winter beater accord does it and my friends gen2 integra does it too.

It's not normal on a stock car for the idle to wander alot when it's cold, warm, or anytime. It's normal for the idle to be high, but it'll go up to a point, usually between 1500-1800 rpm, stay there, then gradually decrease as the engine gets warm. It shouldn't go up and down repeatedly, not more than 100 rpm's, anyway. It's the part where the idle's goes back to normal when the car's warm that has me confused.

Since my engine rebuild (I/H/C/E, Spoon cams, pistons 12:1cr, tuned), my idle goes way up to around 2300 rpms when I start the car when its cold out, but it holds there, then gradually decreases, a little wandering, but nothing crazy/unusual. When it's warm, idle is normal.

idle problem is tha Idle Air Control Valve

its the part that lets more air in when cold, and cuts off air when warmed up. coolant passes through the bottom side of it, and when the coolant warms up, the heat causes the little screw type thing to close up the holes that bypass the throttle valve.

i had the same problem. its a common problem on integras. i fixed mine by removing the part and spraying it out with some brake cleaner. it sits on the backside of the intake manifold. 2 12mm bolts if i remember correctly

Since you got a tune up it is probably because of the spark plugs, did you gap the plugs?
