Got it.

Okay, you need to adjust the base idle to 500 RPM. There is a base idle screw on the throttle body and after setting the idle to 500, plug in the IAC and the idle should return to normal.

Okay, I cannot see the screw in any drawing. You need to look where the accelerator cable attaches to the throttle body. It will be there.

Junk yard parts are never a good idea.

Yes, it sounds like it is bad. I would get a rebuilt one.
