Default 84 crossfire-explain how IAC's work

On the 84 Crossfire engine there are 2 idle control valves, one on each tbi. My question is (maybe a dumb one, but couldn't find the answer anywhere else, and no fsm) do they work together? I recently tuned up the car and removed and cleaned both iac's which were dirty. The car idles fine but I only see the drivers side iac actually work, the front tbi iac (pass side) does nothing. Any help is appreciated.

I knew that was a dumb question, but now I never have to ask again. I am off to but a new iac.

The IAC moves the pindle to achieve:
idle speed
WOT it moves to max retraction to allow more air into vehicle
stall saver should car rpm to much drop for any reason
and to cool the flux capacitor
