Your IAC(Idle Air Control) valve is functioning properly. The car will start and idle higher when cold. It does that so you can drive the car at its proper operating temperature sooner.

Also please use the search key. This problem has been mentioned before.

NVM...derp derp.

But 3k seems a tad high. The 5 Honda's I've owned never idled that high on startup. Even on super cold 15degree days.

Check this out.
