If the IAC gets too dirty to move, then it would be consistantly bad. A good cleaning with carb cleaner should resolve any problems. But, I doubt the IAC is bad, usually that happens when the AC is causing the idle to fluctuate a lot.

I still think the engine is running too rich. The MAF could be at fault, as well as a dirty air filter. Please look for vacuum leaks which will make the engine run rich and cause stalling at low rpms by fouling the plugs.

The next time it stalls, take out a plug or two and inspect it for wet and black.

Have you tried running the engine above 3,000 rpm (warm) to clean off the exhaust valves?
