Default car won't hold idle...what's the deal???..need car running ASAP

I have a b16head with a gsr block and GSR tranny...my question is that every morning I start my car up I have too keep the REVs up other wise it will shut off....now if I've been driving the car for a while and it heats up then it'll hold an idle but still randomly will cut off...we ran the ECU and its not throwing any codes... I asked a local shop and they said I broke my air idle control valve...I was wondering if there were any other ideas...

there is no choke. lol its not a lawn mower even though people say they sound like one. the IACV could very well be the problem. the auxillery idle up under the throttle plate could be clogged. also check the idle screw
