found this on google:
I FIXED IT! I went to a mechanic in town after work. Told him the problem. He said ANY time a cars idle starts going higher, it is always vacuum related (on Honda's at least). I was in my other car so he showed me one in the shop and what to do.
On the Fast Idle Thermo valve, there is a plate with two screws holding it on. Take the screws out, remove the plate and there is a spring loaded plunger inside with a ring around it holding it in place. There are two slots, one on each side of the ring. Use a small slot screwdriver to turn the ring and screw it back down into the valve cylinder.
On my Skunk2 intake, it is on the rear side of the valve, under the throttle body. Kinda hard to get to.
What happens is the ring starts backing out and opens up the valve more and more causing the idle to slowly increase over time. This is what controls your idle before the motor warms up. After the motor reaches operating temps the IAC then controls your idle.
I did this today and the thing idles like a dream. Took about 15 minutes. What makes me sick is buying a new IAC valve that I did not need. The mechanic said "You should have talked to me first". Cool guy.
Thanks for the input guys. I checked what you said but that wasn't it. I do appreciate you trying to help.
