Is the CEL ON?

Have you already cleaned or replaced the IACV on the throttle body? Have you checked the IACV wiring with a multimeter?

How does the engine run? When was the last basic tune up done (plugs, wires, cap, rotor)?

Did you clean the air passages in the throttle body leading to the IACV as well? Remove the valve to do that.

You may need to open up the air screw on the top of the throttle body. A fixed amount of air comes through the screw, which combined with a variable amount from the IACV, determines the idle speed. Warm up the engine and with the A/C off, disconnect the wires to the IACV. The engine should slow down but keep running at about 400 or 500 rpm. Adjust the air screw if necessary to achieve this. Do not adjust the stop screw on the throttle shaft. Then reconnect the IACV and normal idle should resume. The CEL will probably come on with a false IACV code during this procedure, so reset it when done.
