Replace your IACV. If you cleaned it and it fixed it until it got dirty again, I'd say there's your problem.

The TPS can do some weird things when it goes bad, but like I said before, if you cleaned the IACV and the problem went away for a little bit, my bet would be that the IACV is bad and cleaning it helped a little; replace it with a new one and I wouldn't be surprised to see the problem disappear entirely.
