Never cuts above 1000rpm?

Is the idle rock solid at 550rpm (assuming AC working)?

Is it always on deceleration? If you left it idling on the drive, would it do it?

Sounds like you been having a bad time with one thing and another , your heading the right way though ... ICV idle control valve as you say , give it a clean and light lube . Mine was giving same problem but cleaned and runs fine now , worth a shot. I used brake cleaner and let it soak a few mins then empty out and dry and put 1-2 drops of light oil in ...may take a few miles to settle after its been cleaned  ;)
