also check the fast idle thermo valve on the underneath of your throttle body. it controls idle when your car is warming up. iacv controls idle once the car is up to temp. either or both could be bad if it always does it

I just had the same problem............ Im building a sand rail with the engine though.

Here is what totally fixed if for me.
Bleed the air out of the coolant lines. There is a bolt with a nipple on the coolant housing at the front of the engine. start the engine and let it warm up . wear thick gloves and crack it open and bleed all of the air out.

Do this a couple time while keeping an eye on your rad coolant level.

WORKED 4 ME
