are you having any issues with a cold start? You can check if the IAC is working by jumping two pins in the diag box. I think it was pin E1 and TE1 but don't remember. Jumping these pins takes the idle up to about 1500 then back down. If this works, the IAC is ok. I removed my IAC and cleaned it with intake/carb cleaner. there was a lot of crap on it and the valve was stuck closed. after cleaning it, I connected the electrical leads to the battery to check that the valve was functioning correctly. There are three pins, + in the middle and two - on the sides. one - is to open the valve and the other to close it completely. When taking the IAC off the throttle body, be careful with the 4 screws..they are soft and tend to get ruined.
