I refer to what you are talking about as a hanging idle. Mine does this too, and has gotten a little worse since I put a new MAF sensor on. I am going to check and make sure my TPS it where it should be and set my idle where I want it with the IAB disconnected. Im going to try that tomorrow. I'll let you know if it cures the problem.
