ok but why does it idle so low? normally it shouldn't idle that low. i'm assuming a vacuum leak somewhere. i say start with your pcv valve. take it out, and shake it, if you don't hear anything, it's clogged and needs replacement. if it's ok, look at other vacuum lines.

where should it be idling?

Between 700-900 rpm when the engine is warm.  I really think your problem has to do with the IAC valve, a lot of times just removing it from the throttle body and cleaning the screen solves the choppy idle issue.

My honda had a sputtering issue and low idle aswell, turned out to be a broken gasket on the inlet manifold causing it to draw in "false air". Maybe something to check by spraying water around the manifold/motor joint, The water will temporarily act as a seal and you'll instantly see improvement if this is the problem.

We have fixed it I can't remember what he said it was though as it was a couple of days ago

Yeah its a sensor, could be a hole in the air intake tubes.

I doubt many electronic people are mechanical, so your best bet is to hit up a Honda forum, those type of forums always got mechanical wizards and guru's there.
