I had a problem it would idle at 1 and half also!

Check:
1.Vaccum Leaks
2.Try to check if your senors are pluged in!
3. Try to do a Idle Troubleshooter Test

But in the end my problem was that my senor (IAV) was messed up

dang thats weird, take a bottle of brake cleaner and spray it between the tb and manifold, maybe theres a gap where air escapes, also try it were the mani meets the head. if idle goes down while spraying the brake cleaner you will need a new gasket.
