Sounds like you have a vacuum leak from somewhere... I would definately check the IAC (if you've got one, I can't remember what year you said you had. ) Otherwise, maybe sticking EGR valve, etc, etc... The problem is lots of air is getting in, leaning out the mix, and causing the high idle. Just a thought,
