Default idle problem after car warms up

i just bought a automatic 97 civic from a friend of mine for a daily. it was wrecked so it sat for a couple months untill i pieced the front end together. i got it together and running two nites ago and when its warming up it idles at about 2000, then after it warms up it starts jumping between 500 to 2000. ussually i would just clean the idle air control but autos dont have them. any other ideas to check for? it also doesnt have the intake box, just the arm and no filter.
