Your problem is the valve on the bottom of the throttle body. It's the idle air control valve and it's a very common problem. You can replace the unit itself (be sure to replace the TB gasket too) or you can upgrade to an Integra TB (also a new gasket).

Up to you.

Sometimes flushing it (the IACV) with a good intake cleaner will help, too. Make sure you're adjusting everything correctly, too.
