Cleaning my IAC

Cleaning my IAC
my motor is idling terrible after driving it for a while. at like red lights or when i stop the RPM's go almost all the way down and its feels like its gonna stall out. although it never does. it idles fine while its warming up and things like that. but ive came to the conclusion thats its the IAC and if cleaning it doesnt work which im told i should do, i guess i would have to repalce it if de-clogging it doesnt work.
so my question is where and how would i be able to clean it???

you can pick it up at any car quest in your area

i had a time constraint when mine was acting weird, so i bought a new one instead of cleaning mine and seeing if that fixed it..
it may just need to be cleaned, i duno
if yours still is acting shitty after a cleaning, ill send you my old one and you can clean it and try it if you want.. just pay shipping and it's yours

If you listen to me, take it out and letr it sit in brake fluid overnight. Next day clean it out with carburator cleaner and ull be good as new.

after seeing the amount on shit in my IAC, throttle body, and intake manifold, i suggest all of you do this.
thanks alot arber for the help, i wouldnt have been able to do it w/o you. now in the event i ever have to do it again ill be able to do it myself, thanks.

SeaFoam is the best... There are DIYs on the forum for that, I've written a couple myself... Kind of a fun trip if you like your whip to smoke for a while. But it's all good when it quits smoking.

just to let you guys know that this defenitly works, for anyone who is facing low crappy idles, i suggest all of you do it anyways, you would be surprised of the amount of buildup in your IAC and throttle body, even your intake manifold. my idle has been perfect since.
