If you are going to work on that hunch, then just go buy a new one.
Other wise take the time to check into some other things AND pull the codes.
If you haven't pulled the codes, then your just pissing in the wind.
good luck,

ive always heard if you soak the filter with too much red oil from the K&N cleaning kit, it the engine will suck it up and get stuck on the MAF wires and jack with your car.
or you could have used to much carb cleaner. you could take the IAC back off, take the IAC apart, just 2 screws, take some compressed air and blow it out.

try unhooking hte battery cables for a few minutes and hooking them back up, maybe your light will go out and the idle will smooth out - this stupid little trick works some crazy wonders - i beleive it clears the computer out and the computer has to relocate the problems, and maybe it is faultly locating a IAC problem -
I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to clean the MAF or TB with carb cleaner. There is a special electrical parts cleaner for the MAF and throttle body cleaner for the throttle body...I use the TB cleaner on the IAC too. I don't know exactly what carb cleaner does to the TB, but I think it's bad for the metal. I know lots of people use carb cleaner, but that doesn't mean that's the best thing.
i wasnt aware that they used a teflon coating back in the 90s. i thought that was a newer thing.
