IAC problem?

Ok, here is the problem, I have a C5 and last wednesday, i changed my IAC (bought brand new from Honda) because i was having some crazy idle problem. When i first try to start my car first thing in the morning, i would start it, and if i dun rev my car up, my car will just stall...then i would drive it, for the first bit, everytime i come to a stop, it just sound like my car isn't even started.(idle around like 500??..then after a while, my idle will go up to like 2g........so my mechanics say it was the IAC, so we put a new one in...at first it work fine....until friday i drove it up the the highway......now the exact same prob came back up.....wat da FXXX....i just spend 3 bills on the new IAC....and it didn' last 3 days? anyone know wat my prob is?????? i don't want to spend another 3 bills.....or should honda have some sort of frigging warrnty on it? thx!!!

yep, it sounds like your FITV, i had similar problems and cleaned my IAVC and it helped, and then i was about to buy a new one, an decided to check out my FITV and it was ALL the way out (there's a thread on there with a link as to how to fix it, pm me if you can't find it) Cleaned it up, screwed the little 'thingy' down all the way and i'm purring at 1000rpm's, i also cleaned my upper intake and TB in the process.
