Sounds like you've gotten a bad trouble code. The idle air control valve is probably loaded with crankcase ventilation "goo". It needs to be removed and cleaned. When it's all gummed up, it won't adjust your idle speed properly. My interpretation of this "fault" is that your idle speed is too low. Remember to clean your PCV system as well!!!

The IAC only works at idle by adjusting the intake. It should not be working at speed.
