Which IAC did you use?
Did you clean the port that the plunger goes into?

Start it and hold your foot on the gas pedal, as long as you keep the RPM above 550 it will run. No need to use starting fluid.

As for how to adjust the steeper motor, I have no idea.

Do you have fuel pressure at the fuel rail? Just press the schrader valve on the fuel rail, fuel should shoot out at you.
Do you hear the fuel pump kicking in?

It is on the passenger side, it should have what looks like a tire valve cover on it.
