Ok I did what you said, however the iacv on d16y8 isn't at the back of the manifold it's under the throttle body. Unless i cleaned the wrong thing. I had to unbolt the whole throttle body, take off the two hoses, so I could flip it over to get access to IACV which was bolted on by four small bolts. I just wanted to clarify for anyone else who tries on the same engine. Anyway, it didn't work.
