Ok, so my car sometimes decides that it doesn't like to idle below 1700 RPM. I've cleaned the IAC already! Does this mean I need to replace it, or is there something else that I am missing.

It maybe shot! No amount of cleaning will bring it back.
Are you getting a check engine light?

I could also be just that it's so cold out that it's having a hard time working properly.

Look for - vacum leaks, air intake system leaks or MAF dirty, Throttle body and linkage binding.

Sorry about not replying sooner. Yes my CEL is on! Last scan it was an EGR flow issue. I will have it scanned again and see what she throws!

You might need to clean the UIM/LIM right away.
This will clog up the egr passages. Ask Mbb41, SnafuFlux about how bad it can get.
I've done mine twice in 4 years. If yours has never been done. Ummmmm do it!!

Read this thread!
Look for my links in it.
