Coolant passes over the back of the IAC valve to heat it. This helps a smoother idle in cold weather.

The previous owner may of disconnected the coolant hoses to help reduce the air intake temperature. It is a common modification to Hondas.

The IAC uses a bi-directional stepper motor (hence the 3 control pins) to control the amount of air passing through those two holes.

The filtered hole of the IAC is the Inlet. (Fed from the side elliptical hole in the throttle body via a cavity in the inlet manifold)
The other hole of the IAC is the Outlet. (Feeds to plenum chamber)
