This is a common problem. You should definitely get ride of aiv valve but keep for environmental testing. the iacv should be cleaned and inspect spring. make sure all your grounds are clean. if you do a search , you find a bunch of stuff on this subject but it is often confusing.

I uploaded some pics in the second thread below. Searching in the forums is like looking for needle in haystack. the first link is also very good.the third link shows the valve on the car . if you know where the screw is for adjusting idle you know where valve is. it is behind air intake close to firewall on passenger side. zerothread?id=125163

first link is a tutorial and second link is a thread where i uploaded some pics of aiv. air injection valve is not needed. not sure if 1989 has it. it takes air from where the air fliter is and injects it to combust secondary gas or something. it is easy to access from top. it is on driver side of engine bay.
