Check you IACV, it might be dirty, or check for any vacuum leaks around the IM. Check that and let me know wats up

This is what my friend's 92 accord is doing sometimes when he start it in the morning. What is this IACV and where to check for vacuums leak?

The IACV is the device that is located behind the intake manifold with sensors plugged into it, its usually held on by 2 screws. Unscrew it and spray brake cleaner into the side with the metal filter then drain it out. For vacuum leaks check all the hoses that connects to the IM

Is it doing it only when cold? Likely it is the FITV.
