Symptoms of a bad IACV??

So my car would stall and such on cold, but ok after warm up. Wouldn't shift into gear when cold also. I ruled everything out except the IACV. Cleaned it and it was so much better. No problems at all for about 2 days. Till now. When i put o/d on, the rpms won't hold. Put into 2nd or 1st rpms won't hold. I would put it in 2nd the engine won't kick in until the rpms are where its suppose to be it, but then jerk right before it gets there. I have an auto btw. I just want to make sure that i need a new IACV before i spend $180 for one.

sounds like you need one, if after cleaning it you saw an improvement and then things went back to "normal". BTW, how many miles does your car have?
