Cleaning the IAC and replacing the TPS got this issue under control on my truck, my idle still hangs every once in a while (mostly when its very hot outside) so i think i'll eventually have to replace the IAC but it doesn't hurt the running of the motor. same year same motor same transmission.

edit: Also when you clean the IAC, replace the gasket that goes on there (1$ from napa) because when i first cleaned my IAC the issue did no go away and only once i replaced the gasket did it go away.

I'm having this problem as well. I changed the IAC last year and it went a way for a good while. The problem is back. One variation from the poster. Mine does not idle back down once I get to a stop, it continues to run very high until I start going again and 1st gear forces it into a slower mode. It seems to want to go faster as well. Do I need another IAC or could it be something else?

a bad pcv valve will cause a high idle and not throw a code.
