Could also be a vacuum leak or air in the cooling system. It could also be that the IACV is simply bad.

There is most likely and air bubble in your coolant system. Try unbolting the coolant air bleed bolt on the front/bottom of the engine block... After the coolant has all come out of the bottom of the block, drain the radiator, then fill the radiator and resivoir back up with coolant to the top. Run the engine until the thermostat opens and fill as needed.

When you have a rough idle, most people say it is the IACV. Everytime I have run into a rough idle, it has always been air in the coolant system. Try this out and let me know.
