I'll post a video to show you whats wrong.

used one, i'll try to clean the iacv when i get time.
like when i start the car up it idles to 3k rpm then goes down to 1krpm and just keeps reving to 3rpm.
i think it could be idle air control valve needs a clean?

Wait. it has a fast idle valve? My 00 didn't. I have actually seen the same issue on an EG. I think I clamped one of the vacuum lines that goes to it and it idled fine, so I threw another fast idle valve on it and it was fine. Another one I did on a LS-VTEC has a fast-idle valve and I think it also had a bad valve, so I just made a block-off for the throttle body and got rid of the Fast idle valve altogether.

Keep in mind that there should be no other source of air besides IACV and FITV on idle.
FITV should only let air in while engine is cold, so if it stays open - its bad or the plastic deal is loose open. Close the bottom hole in the throttle body to check if it lets any air when the engine is warmed up.
Now, after FITV, the only source left is IACV. If you close the upper hole in the throttle body and the engine idles fine, it means that there is air still getting in the intake somehow, which is not normal.
So, if you close both holes and your engine doesn't die, try to eliminate the parts.
Close the whole throttle body with your hand. If the engine doesn't die, the vacuum leak is somewhere else.
Spray carb cleaner or starting fluid around the intake manifold housing and vacuum lines to see if the engine reacts.
If nothing happens, check your TPS. Don't forget to check both closed throttle and wide open. Voltages should go up smoothly and stay constantly.

Idle Air Control Valve - located on the back of the intake manifold. https://honda-tech.com/forums/acura-integra-6/%2A%2A%2Ahow-clean%2A%2A%2A-your-iacv-k-idle-air-control-valve-1575913/
Bleeding coolant system means getting rid of air bubbles in the fluid. Squeeze the thick rubber tube going to the radiator while keeping adding coolant in it until no bubbles coming up. Simple thing, you'll figure it

Yes, this hole is for your Fast Idle Thermo Valve (FITV). There should be no to little suction when engine is warmed up.
Just close the whole throttle body opening with your hand to see if the problem is there at all. The engine should die. If it doesn't, then there is definitely a vacuum leak somewhere else.

So if you plug both holes, the engine should die. If it doesn't, then there is another source of air which shouldn't be there.
Read this and do if needed.
