Hey yall!

I need some help trying to figure this one out. I'm noticing my girl idles hard and makes this "gurgling" sound while stopped. Is this truly an IAC solenoid?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Gurgling? Like water? Could be low on water and you're hearing water in the heater core.

^^ Look here first^^

Also check that the car isn't overheating and bubbling coolant in the overflow tank. Could mean a head gasket took a dump

The radiator is full and I don't smell coolant. It just happens in instances such as when I'm at a red light or if I'm in the drive thru or sitting in the driveway. I know she needs a tune-up but her idling is constantly fluctuating between 500 and 1000 rpm.
