IACV on 1.4 3dr civic

[p-con_91]

I think mine needs cleaning but I can't find it! Revs sometimes dip to 100-200 when running idle with warm engine, and sometimes revs over 2000 when I start up.

It's easy to spot in the MB6 but there's a bunch of hoses and cables obscuring my view in the 1.4. Should it be in the same place as on the MB6?

This is what I've got

and a view from the back (serious discomfort to get this one!)

Is the IAC valve anywhere near here?

I see two hoses and what looks like an electrics cable going in near the middle of this pic, so looks like the most likely candidate, but there' gonna be some serious jiggery pokery to get in there so I want to make sure its right before I start messing around with it.

From what i can remember mate, and bear with me as it was a while ago I done one on a hatch, but remove the whole air filter and between the throttle body and injectors it was down there. Not too hard to get too just a bit fiddly.
