Did you thoroughly clean the throttle body well in front of the IAC? They can accumulate a great deal of carbon in that area that may cause the issue. Also, a reset of the PCM should be done after these parts were installed, so the the PCM can relearn idle.

What condition is your battery in? A weak battery will cause idle issues.
