listen to the motor in idle for any vacume hose leaks, try spraying some brake cleaner around some vac hoses to hear any idle changes

check to see if some mental midget tightened up the throttle cable to jack up the idle, there should be a little slack in the cable.

Ok well i tried cleaning the IACV and now it idles at 600 but stalls as son as i put another load on the engine such as moving the steering wheel, ac, etc. If i rev it, once i let off the gas it almost stalls, drops below 500 rpm's
