Default 1994 honda accord idle issue

I just bought this 94 accord and it sat for awhile. It has an low idle and even when cold if you pull to a stop it 98% of the time will stall out. I cleaned the idle control valve and tested it and it was fine last night. This morning on the way to work it started it's stalling again. Can someone help?? Ideas please.

Default 1994 honda accord idle issue (cold and warm)

So o tried to let my honda warm up then drive it. It did good. But when i got off work i didn't let it warm up as much and the shaking came back halfway home. No codes, just had been sitting for a year or so.
what should be done?

I merged your threads, because they are dealing with the same issue.

Your accord has a fast idle thermo valve that lets more air into the engine when it is cold. The valve may be stuck closed and could cause your problems. You may also want to inspect the air intake for any blockages like mice nests, etc from the air filter to the throttle body.
