IAC valve gets part of its input info via the TPS (Throttle Position
Sensor) thru the ECU.
Your BEST bet is to pull engine trouble codes FIRST, then install any
needed parts. If you don't get any codes, the fuel filter is a good bet.

Does bad TPS show a code in that year? It doesnt in earlier years.

Also may help to clean the MAF.. certainly wont hurt
