I had the same issue with my 93 Accord EX 4 dr sedan. I was told it was the Idle Control Valve (ICV) by one "mechanic" but when I asked another one whi had their own shop, he said the IACV (idle air control valve) fails or it doesn't. He added that the IACV rarely fails.

In my case, the coolant level was too low, which affected the FITV (fast-idle thermo valve). The FITV adjusts the idle based on engine temp.

Here's a link to a post with much more info: http://www.Honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1704468

Heres a step by step walk through on how to fix it:
