sometimes they are bad and cleaning them wont help. but if its trying to die and idle surges you might want to look for vacuum leaks

Your fuel filter may be clogged, sounds like the problem I had on my old civic.

I'm assuming you took your iac completely out of the car, thus opening up your coolant system right?

You have to bleed the coolant

is it just idling low? what vehicle? have you tried to adjust the timing with a timing gun?

if your 0BD1 check the FICV under the throttle body some times you need to take off the back and tighten up the big white disc with a large flat tip screwdriver.

also try this

Idle Speed Setting ----------------------..
InspectlonlAdjustment
NOTE: (CANADA) Pull the parking brake lever up.
Start the engine, then check that the headlights are off.

1. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating
temperature (the cooling fan comes on).

2. Connect a tachometer.

3. Disconnect the 2P connector from the EACV.

4. Start the engine with the accelerator pedal slightly
depressed. Stabilize the rpm at 1000, then slowly
release the pedal until the engine idles.

5. Check idling in no-load conditions: headlights,
blower fan, rear defogger, cooling fan, and air conditioner
are not operating.
Idle speed should be:
Manual D15Z1 engine: 420 ± 50 rpm
Others: 420 ± 50 rpm
Automatic 420 ± 50 rpm (in [N] or [P])
Adjust the idle speed, if necessary, by turning the
idle adjusting screw.

6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

7. Reconnect the 2P connector on the EACV, then
remove BACK UP fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay
box for 10 seconds to reset the ECU.

8. Restart and idle the engine with no-load conditions
for one minute, then check the idle speed.

NOTE: (CANADA) Pull the parking brake lever up.
Start the engine, then check that the headlights are
off.
Idle speed should be:
Manual D15Z1 engine: 600 ± 50 rpm
Others: 670 ± 50 rpm
Automatic 700 ± 50 rpm (in [N] or [P])

9. Idle the engine for one minute with headlights (Hi)
ON and check the idle speed.
Idle speed should be:
Manual D15Z1 engine: 700 ± 50 rpm
Others: 750 ± 50 rpm
Automatic 750 ± 50 rpm (in [N] or [P])

10. Turn the headlights and rear defogger off.
Idle the engine for one minute with heater fan
switch at HI and air conditioner on, then check the
idle speed.
Idle speed should be:
Manual D15Z1 engine: 810 ± 50 rpm
Others: 810 ± 50 rpm
Automatic 810 ± 50 rpm (in [N] or [P])
NOTE: If the idle speed is not within specification,
see System Trobleshooting Guide on page 11-82.
