Default 97 Accord V6 idle problem

When my car is at idle the revs drop and raise again back to the normal rpms. This happens periodically and when the CEL light came on I had it checked and was told P0505 Idle Air control Valve. My question is does anyone know where it is located? I see theres a post on the Guide to Accords but its for the 4cyl.

Has anyone had this problem with the V6 motor? Was cleaning it a temporary fix or permanent fix? Im tired of rattling away while at idle.

The MAP is the Snitch that causes this code.
Causes are; IACV mechanical malfunction
FITV malfunction, adjustment or coolant low
Throttle Body, air idle port clogged, or wrong adjustment
Vacum leak; at any point of the intake manifold
TPS incorrect output; as in Somebody jacked the throttle cable tight to adjust the idle.

Pull the IACV off and blast it out with Berrymans B-12
