Default b16a cold start..

i was on the highway yesterday goig 80-100 "spedo broken" and when i got stopped by the train crossing my car was idiling constantley over 3000 rpm.
so whal the train is going a cop comes up behind me ,and because my idle is so high my exs is blarring.he pulls me over for noise violation.i get a ticket and so on.so i get to my friends house to adjust it.not the problem. i took off my intake and pluged the hole in the throttle body it goes back to normal.
then we went to a pick and pull and got this part that goes to the back of the throttle body.it like a little piece of metal that has to inlets one for coolant and the other to let air in.that wasnt the problem.so we took the throttle body off and under it is the cold start valve selonoid .we plugged it as a temporary fix "plugged it with card board from a burger king cup.so i go out this morning, and the car starts but the idle drops so low the intake is taking littls gasps of breath to keep going, i give it a little gas and it starts going.....ok so know were do i get this part for a b16a? will it fix my problem or is it more than that,im figuring that its just a bad valve.any help is great..
oh sorry for the shitty spelling ive only been awake for 30 or so min...
