If you are standing on the drivers side of the engine compartment (by the
battery), and looking at the top of the engine (on top of the intake
manifold) you'll see a more-or-less cylindrical object bolted on with 2
bolts. That's your IAC valve. There is a 2-wire connection to the IAC as
well.
I'm assuming you need to clean it. Just unbolt from the intake manifold,
then have at it with a can of throttle body cleaner.
For reference, the Autozone online manuals are very helpful for identifying
and servicing parts.

Note that you have to first remove the plastic cover from over the top
of the engine so that you can see and get to the IAC. I had mixed
experience cleaning the valve on my '99, probably better to get a new
one.
