I think I understand what you are saying.......... Your idle might be set too high, a handheld tunner can fix that.

sounds like another IAC valve needs to be cleaned because it is getting stuck open. i dont have the link but im sure someone who does will chime in and throw it your way to show you how to clean it. i had the same problem with my car...and word of advice...just take your car out and just get on ita couple of times. should clean it out for the most part. thats what i would suggest you try before buying a tuner.

what did you use??? did you use the suggested method by taking it off and cleaning it or did you do the more primal thing and just go out and hammer it a couple times???

well i think that you should go out and floor it a couple times and see if that helps out at all. how many miles are on your car and what kind of driving has it seen???

Clean the IAC... even if it ends up not fixing the problem it ain't a bad idea.
