IACV. Take it off, clean it, try it again. Problem contuniues, check the TPS. Those 2 sensors are what controls idle. Check aswell for any vacuum leaks. If you have a cracked/unplugged vacuum hose the idle will jump like crazy. A easy culprit for the F22 is the top mounted PCV valve gets bumped and it cracks, loosing any kind of vacuum seal. Happened to a friend with a 90 Accord Sedan.

Also check and clean FITV - fast idle thermo valve, right of the IACV on the Intake Manifold.
Might also be air pockets in the coolant - bleed + replace.
