Fast Idle Control Valve. It senses the temperature of the coolant and admits extra air to the engine when it is quite cold (below 60 F I think). This increases the idle speed during warm-up.

Try replacing all of the rubber seals, if you think the valve is otherwise functional.

Also try your local auto parts store or here:

In addition, be sure to clean both mating surfaces thoroughly.
