Default Car won't idle

Hey guys, like the title says my car won't idle. It will start fine and i have to keep the revs up for it to stay running. I also have some trouble with it not wanting to start at all, it seemed like the ignition switch and barrel was the problem because it was intermittent. I was thinking it was the IAC because when cleaned the throttle body it idles fine and if i let it sit for awhile it will do the same thing again so i sprayed just the IAC opening only and it idle good again......I checked the intake fittings to make sure they're good and tight. What do you guys think is causing this problem.

A little update I just changed the ignition switch and key barrel as well. So far the idle problem has stopped and the car is running like normal again. If anything changes I'll be sure to post it on here.
