Default Need Some Help

Ive searched all over and cant find a guide to clean IACV. The problem is i dont know which one it is on the intake manifold. If some one can post a engine shot with it circled that would be great. Stock 2j-ge

By the way. I want to clean it because recently my idle started to go below the center mark and i heard this is the problem. Any more input will help and I hope this can help people in the future. Thanks in advanced.

Well I didnt get to pull it out, one of the screws is very hard to get to. Is there a trick to getting the screw off? I just took off the Intake boot and blasted the intake and the hole for the IAC with carb cleaner and my idle is fine now, but i still would like the take it apart and clean it more thourough.

Im still having the problem it drops to around 400rpm. Yesterday I sparyed the inside hole of the TB into the IAC and today I sprayed in the the VAC line. Both time I let it sit for about 20-40min. Every time i rev the engine while in nutral it drops to 400 but not always. Damn this is bugging me.
