I would be highly picky about the wrong fluid. A blown steering rack is a lot harder to deal with than a few minutes longer to get the correct fluid. But yes, there is a difference between normal PS fluid and Honda PS fluid.

Have you checked all the ports for any clogging? I would remove that FITV and IACV and check to make sure that air is getting to the manifold unobstructed. If everything is clear, double check the IACV and then you probably need a new FITV.
Here is the testing procedure right out of the Helms manual for the FITV:
1. Remove the intake duct from the throttle body.
2. Start the Engine.
3. Put your finger over the lower port in throttle body and make sure that there is air flow with the engine cold (ECT under 86 degrees F).
If not, replace the FITV and retest.
