2005 Chevy Colorado Four Wheel Drive Automatic 60.000 miles

My check engine light came on with a P0506 code - Idle air control system rpm lower than expected. Several of the option that I found on the web suggest that it could be the PCV valve or the Idle air control Valve (IAC). Can anyone tell me were these are located on a 2005 5 cyl colorado. I did find a site that tells how to test the IAC valve/motor, but I want to make sure I have the correct devices. Thanks

On rare occasions, a SES light may be experienced due to DTCs P0105, P0106, and/or P0506. There may or may not be an idle complaint accompanying the SES light. This may be due to excessive carbon build up in the throttle body.

Clean the throttle body bore and plate for evaluation
