Default Random High Idle

Stock b16 head,IM,TB (2nd gen)on b18c block. Throttle cable isnt too tight, no vacuum leaks. I know the idle is supposed to be high when the motor is cold, but sometimes when im riding around with the motor at operating temp and i let off the gas it likes to idle at around 2000 and sometimes at 3..but a blip of the throttle will return the engine to normal idle >1000..Ive tired cleaning the Idle air control valve on the back of the IM but it didnt fix it..Any suggestions?
Oh yea, and im running a chipped p28 with a b16 basemap.

It's either vacuum leak of a bad iacv motor. Get some carb cleaner and spray around the intake manifold to double check that there's no vacuum leaks
