It's to the right of the TB, next to the firewall. You just need a deep 12mm, maybe a small extension for the bottom bolt. There's three bolts holding the IACV on. Unplug the harnesses before trying to remove those bolts.

Ok well i only had time to do a quick cleaning of the tb.Its snowin pretty bad over here. The tb was pretty dirty especially the flap. I also cleaned the maf again and after that dried up I took it for a lil run. So far so good. I do need to clean that cone filter though. That'll be my next move. It idles a little better now as well. Ill take it for another run later and see how she performs.

UPDATE...so I took my car for a parts run today and its still actin up. I was goin about 45mph in 5th gear and it started bucking and hesitating. I would step on the gas and nothing...its like its runnin outta gas or something. I got to napa and bought my parts...fired it up and the idle shot up to 2000rpm. however going home it ran fine.Also when I start it up in the morning the idle speed rises and falls at times...sometimes up to 2000rpm.So now I think I gotta take out that iacv and clean it.I already cleaned the maf twice and the tb and i also cleaned and re-oiled my cone filter. I was gonna get a maf from an org member but I had some other expenses so thats gotta wait for now.

There's no sense in buying another MAF. Just clean the IACV.

also for ****s and giggles I'd pull the spark plugs and inspect them. Mine was bogging, stalling and misfiring due to a bad plug in cylinder 1. Now that they've all been replaced she runs like a bute

You should be able to reuse the gasket if it's not all mangled up. I reused mine with no issues.
