Maybe the IAC is clogged with some gunk. Check the map and tps sensors also.

I had some thing like that happen when I installed the head package on my girls SI, check your vacume hoses off the back of the manifold, vary good chance it will be one of those. Best way to check for leaks is with a propane test. It will find the leak quicker than your eyes will.
