How long is it since the Viper was cleaned out?

i had the viper of the other day and it doesnt look too bad and i cleaned out a couple of loose bits, the iacv is brand new from ford. Today its been playing around again when your driving its fine and there is very minimal throtle hang but when you put the clutch down the revs drops down to around 1k then will bounce down between 250 and 500 and nearly stall then correct its self and bounce back up to around the 650-700 mark and sit there all day untill you drive and dip the clutch again. This is sending me mad now, this wouldnt be the new iacv playing up already? Thanks for everyone help on this but im getting very old very quick lol.
