Exclamation Hi..!!! And please help...!!

Hi, today my truck worked well but presented a Check engine light that referee to something like to much electricity in cylinder 2 1or something like that if I can remember was code 1052 or something like that but now it has lost power but seriously, rpm's in idle goes down to 500 and when driving it it well I've said It almost don't have power less than half of the engine capacity. When starting to go when I take the Clutch of it accelerate by itself like a pop aceleration and it shakes a lot also I turn it off in the supermarket and by the first 10 seconds it acted normally but then it acted like what I've said before please help I know it sounds in part by a bad IAC but there are other things that I don't know what is and want to be sure thnx to everyone.

TB being that dirty can't be very good for the Throttle Position Sensor. No offense intended here but if your TB plates are that dirty, then God only knows what kind of gunk is built up on the IAC valve. As the others have said, clean the TB and clean the IAC. That would be the first step in fixing the problem with your idle. It is best to remove the TB from the intake and clean it with TB cleaner in a spray can, a few rags and and old tooth brush. Reinstall the TB with a new gasket, they cost about $2.00 at any parts store. Lubricate all of the pivot points and linkages on the TB with spray silicone.
