In addition and possibly before cleaning the idle valve, clean the throttle body. You can clean it on the car. Use carb cleaner, particularly clean the underside of the butterfly flap and the small hole that runs to one of the breather pipes on the right of the throttle body under the butterfly trap. It's various breathers getting blocked that often is the root cause.
