Idle Air Intake Valve ? ?

When I come to a stop at a stop sign/light/parking, my car goes into idle. After a little bit, it chugs, and chugs, and dies. I believe it is my idle air intake valve that is dirty. Just how can I get to it to clean it? When stopped, if I push on the gas pedal just the smallest amount while applying the brake, my car won't die.

it's called the IAC it could be gumbed up. which would make sense cause if not enough air gets by the baldes then it will chug and struggle. but when you give it gas more air is forced bast the baldes and it runs fine correct?? check that out. thats my .02$ have fun

It is under the throttle body, it has a 4 wire harness connecting to it.
