You can try cleaning it with carb cleaner by removing it and spraying carb cleaner into the port with the valve stem showing. That said, you may be better off replacing it as it is hard to properly clean it. There are some simply instructions for replacing it at Autoclinix.com.

How do you clean iac valve?

To clean the iac valve, you must remove your air intake induction pipes. Second if needed you may have to remove the hoses running from the radiator so that you have full view and access to your throttle body. Open you butterfly throttle and spray throttle body cleaner on a rag and wipe until clean. then locate your iac valve. once you have remove it and use the same throttle body cleaner to wipe the carbon and smut off of the point. Then clean the housing in which it goes back into. Be sure to carefully insert your iac valve and tighten as needed. Once you have done that if the iac valve is working then it will be fine for a period of time. If your car still has trouble idling then you may have to replace it. Replacing the iac valve allows the correct amount of air and fuel in to start the engine and keep it idling correctly.
