So that may have helped the issue as well, but not fully.

I think the next option is to pull the IACV off, clean it to death, and put it back. OR just buy a new one, which I'd rather not do with the cost being up there...
let me know if you clean it and how it goes. I did the same and cleaned my TB and all was well for about 20 minutes and than it came back. The car was hydrolocked and maybe the aicv is all mine needs. Mine definitely doesn't ping as much as yours, it just idles low and fluctuates a lot
