Does the idle just drop and stay there or does it fluctuate?

Try turning on the A/C. See if it jumps up or it stays down. Try cleaning the IAC valves. Also when you take the IAC out, check to see if there are holds or maybe someone slap on the auto mani like my previous owner did.

This is only for manual cars, assuming yours is manual too.
