You should clean the throttle body at the same time you clean the IAC. Sometimes a dirty throttle body by itself will cause the problems you are having. Cleaning the throttle body on the car often gets a little bit of cleaner into the throttle body as well and that is sometimes enough to make a difference.

Sometimes a sticking / binding IAC will not respond to cleaning and will need to be replaced.
