Use your carb cleaner to clean any gunk out of the ICV, and replace the molded hoses of they have hardened or cracked. Use dealer hoses only, no aftermarket. Also check the big black rubber boot on the underside of the air mass housing.

Might want to check the air flow sensor at the front of the air cleaner boot with a DMM.
Your car does have an air flow sensor, but a mechanical one. You can see the large flap under the air filter assembly. The flap descends as more air rushes into the engine. It 'senses the air flow'.

As already said, I would start with simple, cheap issues like eliminating every possible inlet vacuum leak. That may improve things but you are in the dark trying to diagnose idling problems if there are leaks.

Bonne chance.
