Default Help w/throttle body and IAC

So after asking this question, I have come to belive that my IAC may be dirty. I replaced my Lid and Filter and cleaned up the throttle body with a rag (oil residue) and I believe that my idle and surging problem is from a dirty IAC. How do clean this? Do I use plain old Gunk carb cleaner with the engine off or on? Do I need a special cleaaner other than a degreaser? IPA Alcohol? Should I remove the IAC and clean it and then clean out the passage in the throttle body with something? Please comment.

Thanks

isopropanol will be your friend

there is also some stuff called Throttle Body Cleaner that can be used on the IAC.

remove it and clean it with a toothbrush and some carb cleaner. Do you have any other mods on your car??? Just asking in reference to tuning and stuff.

Thanks all, it was a combination of some things, I believe. A dirty IAC which I cleaned with Throttle body cleaner. A damaged pulg wire on #8 and a cracked plug on #4.

Thanks
