Default idling high and then low

Check engine light came on in my .2000 Honda civic ex today. I am going to try to clean the iacv from the research I have done this might fix the problem. My issue is use carb. Cleaner is fine right? Also, going to check the codes and link those on here, what I have been searching for is a picture or where this is located. Sorry it is the finacees car and I am gettng ahead of the game have not looked for it yet, but wanted to get some answers before I go attend to yet another problem with this car. Need it to last till July and then new car here we come. I would like to try and avoid taking this in.......also, don't know if this matters had a new timing belt and pump put in this past summer.

From my recent problem of my IACV I clean it with Carb cleaner and did nothing but mess up the sensor and make it stay a idle at 1500
