Would a dirty IAC cause funny idle?

hey guys
my car seems to idle a little jumpy at certain times and what it does is it idles really low like it is gonna stall but it doesnt stall. then after a few mins it will go back to idling normal. it used to only do this at a stop but lately i have noticed that it seems almost cut out when i accelerate but again it goes back to normal. i have recently changed the cam sensor so that isnt it and i was talking to someone and they told me that if the IAC is dirty it would cause these problems. so i am wondering how i go about cleaning it and if u guys even think this may be the problem. I also have had the check engine light come on and it will stay on for a few minutes and go off but the car is running fine then. i dont know what this is about and i dont know how to pull codes so any advice there would also help. please offer any advice u have. thanks alot :)

If the check engine light is on, pull what codes the car is throwing! Then check the manual for what code it is! That would be my best guess!
 
how do i pull the codes? i dont have a clue on how to do that. and can i only pull them when the check engine light is on? because it goes on and off. it only stays on for about 2 mins each time. thanks
