I have a 1990 5.0 manual trans. When I start the car it idles at 2000 rpm and stays there. I have noticed over the past few weeks that at a stoplight the car would stay idling fast then drop to normal. I have replaced almost everything on this motor and am stuck. I recently replaced the IAC as I was told this was for sure the problem. I have no manifold vacuume leaks the IAC is new, MAS is working, TPS is calibrated and working. Doesn't seem to be a clutch issue. I adjusted the idle screw on the throttle body and brought the rpm down for a minute but when I restart the car it is hard to start and idle creeps back up to 2000. please help as this is my daily driver.
high idle 2000rpm

With a hot engine, what happens if the IAC electrical connector is disconnected? What RPM does it idle at?
Though you said you checked everything, it still sounds like a manifold vac leak.
Also, for ideas and tips (though not directly related, a lot of the tutorials would apply), see Jrichker's idle surge sticky.
Good luck.
