Where is the idle air control valve on a 2001 Crown Victoria?

My car stalls when first started, and when I'm driving at times. When moving, the car is fine. I'm told this is probably the problem.Where is the idle air control valve on a 2001 Crown Victoria?
Very common problem. It is on the throttle body with two bolts holding it on with an electrical plug. Sometimes you can clean the inside of it with carb cleaner, but most of the time once it starts sticking it has to be replaced. If purchasing a replacement, make sure to get the gasket also, since not all of them come with the mounting gasket.Where is the idle air control valve on a 2001 Crown Victoria?
On the back of the throttle body,with 1 large hose and 1 plug wire connector,mounted with 2 8mm hex head screws.
It is located on the right side of the throttle body spacer between the throttle body and the intake! If you like I can email you a picture.
