Simple! What year is it?
Most likely it needs to be replaced if you are having trouble. Use intake cleaner that is safe for throttle bodies ONLY...nothing else. It was state that on the label. Spray the crap out of it. be liberal witht he cleaner. Keep spraying and shaking it out. Then let it sit for a few minutes and spray again. As far as I know you can put it on still wet, just get as much out as you can out.
Have more problems send me a PM with you phone # and i will call you.

when i was at the dealer we used brake cleaner, mostly cause getting a bottle of throttle body or carb cleaner meant a walk over to parts dept. i used brake cleaner on my IAC and it fixed it for a few months. i wouldve just cleaned it again, but on a crown vic the IAC faces the firewall and its kinda of a PITA to get to so i got a new motorcraft one for $40
