If problems when driving, not idling, I don't think the iac is the problem? When the throttle valve is open, the iac has nothing to do with it, in my opinion. Any applicable trouble codes?
If I understand your post correctly, I'd probably check your ignition switch.
The iac should be on the throttle body, four wire connector, you can see the wire colors.

SOURCE: Oil Pressure Light Comes On after 10 min of Driving

You may not have put the right amount of oil in your car, your oil pressure sensor could be faulty, or you may have a leak.

By revving your engine, you're increasing the pressure and thus turning off the light and making the sensor think that it's at the correct pressure.

SOURCE: Car won't stay running

The idle air control valve on your vehicle is located on the rear of the engine , dead center on top of the intake, directly behind the throttle body.

You'll also want to check out the TPS located on the right side ( while facing the engine ) of the throttle body mounted directly to the throttle body, as well as the MAP sensor located on the front right side( while facing the engine ) of the intake just to the right of the TPS. It looks like a little black box with a plug in the bottom.

SOURCE: idle out of control.

check all your vacuum hoses and the throttle body itself for a vacuum leaks if the hoses replace as nessasary if to check for throttle body get can of carb cleaner and spray around base of throttle body and sides not in it if idle raises you have a vacuum leak goto a good parts store and ask for a rebuild kit don't goto auto zone or advance they don't carry them

SOURCE: rough idle then stalls

Vacume leak or bad idle motor. With the car in park and running with the hood open listen for leaks moving your hand around the different hoses looking for a change in the sounds that you hear. The idel motor also makes the car idel up to 1500 RPM or so right at start-up then idel down, If it doesn;t the idel motor is likly. Check engine light is on when running? Test for codes, Follow code test charts don't skip any steps!.

Testimonial: "Found the problem vacume leak like you said."

How do adjust the idle on a 2000 Chevy Malibu 3100 v6

You don't , it's computer controlled ! If it won't idle you probably have an issue with IAC valve , idle air control valve , or the maybe the air by pass , passage ! Trying to adjust base idle will cause the check engine light to come on , an cause running problems . Idle Air Control Valve . Your best bet mite be to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop that has diagnostic tool's to trouble shoot this problem !

buy a can of spray carb cleaner and clean your throttle plate, pcv valve, and most importantly your idle air control valve. This device controls your idle speed. Check for vacuum leaks, you may have a crack in a vacuum hose.

97 malibu wont idle/replaced sparkplugs 2-idle ssensors had coil pack checked out,ok/still wont idle whats up please?

The throttle position sensor,and the idle air control valve would be my guess at this point.Ohm out the throttle position sensor,to see if it has a dead spot,if so,replace it,if not,replace the idle air control.

Remover your IAC motor (idle air control) on throttle body and clean it well, especially the pintle, (pointed part) and hole (port) it came out of with throttlebody spray cleaner, then re-install & try it. If it's good for a while, then starts to do it again, replace the IAC. Quite often this will cause stalling, low idle etc, but will not store any trouble codes.
