Same thing happened to me. When cleaning the iac it was so caked with stuff that the plunger fell out in my hands. Cleaned it up and put it back in anyway. Truck would not idle but would start and ran at high rpms. Tried cleaning it again and it still wouldn't work right. Had to buy a new iac. About 49- at napa. Was your throttle body off and did you clean the passages. Mine were really bad. You may try removing it and recleaning. Also make sure its fully plugged in. Good luck.
