Ok, 1990 Accord EX manual with 202K miles.

Ok, the problem was the idle would bounce. It would bounce between
1000RPMs and 2000RPMs. My mechanic did some magic to where it would
bounce between 1500 and 2000RPMs. Did more magic and it is now pretty
much steady at 1100RPMs, but it does fluctuate occaisionally, but it is
very little. He cleaned out the idle control valve. The thing is now the
idle won't go below 1100RPMs.

Now, I found this guy on ebay selling these parts:

idle control valve
fast idle thermo valve

Which of these parts should I get from him to fix my car? Should I get
both? If not, which one would fix my car? Thanks.

Reset the computer. Pluck the clock fuse.

Niether. Get a service manual. The service manual shows you how to test the
fast idle thermo valve with a finger and a screw driver.
