Default Where is my idle control valve?

Hey guys, could anyone tell me where my idle control valve is in these pictures? I'd like to clean it. Thanks.

The rotary air control valve on your ULEV should be on the back of the intake plenum just to the right of the throttle body. It's Between the plenum and firewall, you can't see it in ether of the pictures you have posted.

It is located on the back, under the hose indicated by the red arrow.

Thanks a lot! So it's a pretty hardy-accessible location. I guess I will put the cleaning off a little )

Pull off your throttlebody for easy access. (Four 12mm bolts)

Forgot to mention, Where GhostAccord pointed out (red arrow) its a little bit lower and to the right. If you still can't find it, let me know and I can put up another pix for you.
