The IAC is on the bottom of the TB assembly - 2 screws hold a cover over it
Be nice to the seal for it.

Did you do the seafoam treatment after the coil problem- need to get everything clean, as a base line for treatment

make sure to use the new seafoam inlet place- the big vaccum nipple at the TB housing front side, you cant miss it- that will feed direct to all the cylinders and the entire manifold

I've just replaced spark plugs and timing belt. is it still ok to use seafoam in the manifild or should I just put it in the gas tank. If I just put it in the gas tank do I still need to get an oil change ater using?

It doesnt matter if you replaced the spark plugs- seafoam will not hurt them.
You only have to change the engine oil after you put some seafoam thru the big cap marked Engine Oil
New plugs and t-belt? seafoam and really feel the differance!
