I'd invest in either a Hayne's or Helm's manual (relative to your make and model) if you're having problems with this.

IAC is attached to the intake mani by two 12mm bolts and the pcv valve is attached to the valve cover. it looks like a L shaped plastic thing.

I have a similar problem, but my car never stalls, it is a 96 Accord. I just had it in the shop for a tuneup and timing belt and they didnt mention a PCV valve...

well, the part is 3 dollars and you can install it in the kragen parking lot. all you need is a pair of pliers...

Its also a good idea to check the spark plug channels by removing the spark plug caps. If there is oil in there you may have spark plug tube seal issues... this can cause idle issues. I replaced mine and it idles much better now. Just a thought....
