Hey guys was just needing some advice I have been having some idle problems lately like sometimes I get surges but most of the time it's just reading a low idle around 500 I believe also not sure what the correct idle is for this vehicle I've cleaned the iacv an throttle body with carb cleaner I don't have a vacuum leak I'm a little stumped at the moment

First eliminate all vacuum or air leaks in the system. You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.

Just to add, make sure the coolant hoses that go to the idle valve aren't plugged up.
