It's located behind the throttle body on the intake.
Looks like a roll of quarters.

aka the IAC valve.

IAB = Idle Air Bypass IAC = Idle Air Control
either is fine & it should idle consistently @ 850-900 RMP after warmed up,for a long while if everything is good. If it surges &/or drops & recovers or even dies on you its prob a clogged IAB or clogged 'nostrils'.

IAC = that little thing that looks really easy to take off but actually requires the hands of a 3 year old, and will invariably break 1.3 miles after cleaning. Removing the connector will break it somehow.
