You need to clean the FITV as well.

mine doesnt have the fast idle valve its bypassed,just coolent lines i got the problem solved pretty much tho,i went to a local junk yard and got the IACV off a d15,went ahead and grabbed the map sensor and TPS as well just incase,cleaned the new IACV put it on along with the map sensor reset the ecu and started it up,idles at around 1200,still a little high but hell its not bouncing up and down nor is it 2-2.5k so im happy.
