RE: damn idle contol valve
You can try to clean it with electronic cleaner they sell In Auto zone it's like 5 dollars or so it's a spray can. It will remove some of the carb deposit.
I replace mine I thought that was the problem for my stalling but it was my whole engine harness. But hey I have a new OEM IACV. My use one should be fine Since it never threw a Cel code for it I just replaced because I though that was the problem but I was wrong. It came off my 00 SI but I know it also works for SOHC. If interested let me know

Also note that, if the code is P0505, then the IACV is only one possible cause for the problem (picture).

Buying thr IACV sensor brand new from Honda will put a hole in your pocket. Here in Newfoundland i was quoted as the price being over $300. So now i am looking for used ones.
Civic si 00: The extra IACV you have is for a standard transmission, i'm guessing, but is it the one that connects to the intake manifold itself or to the TB?

If interested on the IACV PM me. I take pay-pal payments also.
It looks like this........
