Is there anything else I can use to clean my IACV other than tb/carb/brake cleaner?

Can I use a degreaser or a electrical parts/contact cleaner (i have one that cleans alternators)?

The electrical cleaner should work fine.

thanks for the heads up dude, the contact cleaner worked great, cleared up my IACV screen nicely, dried it for 2-3 hours, reset ecu, drove it around, and it got smoother and smoother now my idle is perfect

alright guys, my idle is perfect when the headlights are off, or the heater/ac is off, but i live here in canada its still pretty chilly at night, so when just when i thought i fixed my idle problem this afternoon cleaning my iavc and adjusting the idle screw my car idled perfect at 750-800 rpm, it felt smooth, not sluggish, revved it to 3 rpm and it dropped back down to 750-800 rpm like it should, but tonight i drove around with my headlights on obviously and my heater to setting 2 because it was kinda cold and my car idles 300-500 and when i put it to neutral and brake while approaching a stop sign it idles down to almost 100-200, when i turned everything off it idles back to normal. Should i check my FITV?

the fast idle valve only plays a roll when the car is warming up....so no
