This site would be a lot more helpful if you gave more information!

Is the engine warmed up?
What do you mean by saying "with the throttle down"?
All the way to the floor,just off idle,or somewhere in between?

Try using carb cleaner to get some of the gom out of the IAC valve.Spray the carb cleaner into the little hole in front of the throttle blade.Use the throttle cable to keep the engine running while you spray cleaner into the little hole.Don't mind the smoke that will come out of the exhaust.

You could just remove the IAC and clean it with some carb cleaner. Would have to agree with chopper on the culprit.
