Hey guys, my idle seems to be jumpy, but only at certain times. I replaced the PCV valve and gromet. That didn't fix the problem. It seems to happen when I run the car hard (to like 5k rpm) and then put the car in neutral while still coasting along. I called the dealer and they wanted close to $100 for a new IAC.... F' that! Does this problem sound like it's the IAC? I checked most of the vac hoses and they seem fine. I don't hear anything vac leaks. Does NAPA sell IAC's for cheap? Thanks for any help guys!

IAC's are known for having issues on your car, but most people will recommend to get some carb cleaner and try to clean it first before replacing it.
