Idle up/down

Im currently on PowerTour and the car has been doing fine until today. Each time I come out of gear or start it up the idle is real high (as high as 2k) but will fall to normal after about 10-15 seconds. Any ideas? I'm on the road but can stop and get a part if needed. Thanks in advance.

First make sure the throttle isn't hanging up mechanically. That's usually something with the cable or a dirty TB.

I'm not the best versed TPI guy out there, but from what I've seen here, a dirty IAC is often to blame for idle speed problems.
