Since this morning, my car's been idling really high. It started out at 1090 at about 9:45 this morning. Just took it for a drive and it's still at 1000. IAC sticking open or something?

FIRST!!!!! tap the IAC with a wrench and see if the idle drops. 80% of the time, this will fix a hanging idle.

Haha, so Ford starters and IAC valves can both be fixed with some tapping... Amazing.
