On your 1996 PONTIAC SUNFIRE, the IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE is:
UNDER HOOD, CENTER, REAR ENGINE AREA, FRONT OF AIR INTAKE DUCT, MOUNTED ON FRONT OF THROTTLE VALVE ASSEMBLY

Carburetor equipped J bodies disappeared after 1982.What might look like a carburetor is actually throttle body fuel injection.The fuel pump is in the gas tank,not mechanical on the engine block.Later J bodies went to MPI,and then SFI.
