Agreed. I would clean the IAC first off (w/o messing with the idle settings). That very well may solve the issue, and without introducing more variables.

Good luck.

See the sticky "Help me create the Surging Idle Checklist" at the top of the forum for help with your idle problems. The first post in the sticky has almost all the details you need.
