Idleing fluctuating

My idleing is suddenly very low when the car is cold and it's also jumping around when clutch is engaged(coasting to a traffic light).
I was told it could be the idle control valve.But want to make sure before i buy one.Any ideas?

After warmed up and you're driving with the clutch engaged will the idle jump up to 2000-2500 rpm and fluctuate between 2500-3000 rpm? Or will while in neutral at a stop will the idle jump up to around 3000 rpm and hold there then drop down to normal? If it's fluctuating at all or holds for at 3000 rpm for a few seconds or longer then it's the Idle Air Control Valve.

It was fluctuating yes.But not anymore,now it's just struggling to idle by itself when cold.I've ordered the idle control valve but i'm going to see if i can find a boost leak because the previous owner told me he had one but never bothered to get it fixed and just got rid of the car.
