Default idling problem

what are the colors for a 2 wire IAC valve? ive read green and black, but the ONLY green and back 2 wire plug goes to the thermo housing. i have a red/black, and a another color, but i cant seem to figure it out...

what the car is doing is when i crank it up, its idling really bad, when it first cranks on a cold crank and i press the gas it bogs out like it is going to die, after it runs for a little bit it will rev up, but if i hold it at about 1200 it makes a "wawawawa" sound. i pull off the intake, and put my hand over it and it bogs and almost dies...

i did a wiretuck this past weekend, and 2 labels fell off the misc plugs listed above and im trying to figure out whats up.. an IAC valve wont get clogged from sitting like 2 nights, will it?

my car was running fine, and i did not cut or splice ANY wire on the engine harness itself so its not a wiring problem, i pretty much just rearranged the wiring.

if someone can run out to their car for like 5 seconds and check thier IACV plug for me that would be awesome...im going to clean it tomorrow since it only takes like 10 minutes.


BTW its a JDM b16

alright i cleaned out the IACV using the simple green method, washed it out, let it air dry, and put it back on, same code 14, if there was a vaccume leak on the throttle body could that cause the CEL to go off for the IACV cause the guy i bought this car from has a "form-a-gasket" liquid gasket **** on there, i ordered a new TB gasket today to replace any way....any other ideas?
