Ok thanks. I've never heard of the TPS being called the ICV so I thought that was a little strange.

The round thing in the middle of the two red circles? Just totally remove it?

theres 2 (12mm i think) bolts holding it on, 2 coolant lines and 1 line that goes to the egr. its really a pain the butt to remove but u gotta first remove the 2 lines that go towards the intake, with those out ur 50% done.

ur gonna notice that the iacv is not gonna move that much so u can take it out so i did was, i broke the seal on the coolant line that goes to the thermostat (by breaking the seal i mean twisting it u'll feel the hose become loose) then i took some pliers and placed it on the hose and turned it like im eatin spaghetti (lol) and it'll eventually pop off and the whole iacv will come right out.

remember to replace the gasket since it is a paper gasket and some will get stuck to the intake.
