Check your IAC wires. I had a similar problem and I found that the wires had melted to the EGR valve on the Radix. I know you don't have a charger, but your wires could still have gotten damaged. If that doesn't turn up anything try changing out your IAC valve.

Pintle can be stuck on the IAC motor too.

after looking at the throttle body a bit..
I think the IAC motor is sticking on me...
it shows to be closed but it apparent it's not..
if it was closed then the engine should die, being that the IAC shows 0
going to try and change it out tomorrow, and see if it's the problem...

Get a can of GOOD brake clean and try cleaning it up first. May save you some money.

fixed it today..
wound up filling in the hole to the throttle body, and starting over...
IAC still reads 0 sometimes, but the idle is down to 650 or so

Shouldnt the IAC be close to 60-80? Least thats what Allen was telling me while we were fighting the idle issues on my 418. Mine was bouncing up to 160 until we bent the tab on the throttle body.

30 -50 should be the norm...
Mine is reading 0 but is idling fine..
it also idles fine with the ac on..
going to drive around a bit and see if it changes, if so I will make the necessary adjustments.
