Have you searched for a vacuum leak? Is the check engine light on?

I have almost the same problem. But mine fluctuates when the weather is really cold here in Los Angeles. It goes up and down from 1100-1300 when the engine is fully warmed up. But when is nice and warm outside or not freezing cold, it doesnt do it. I cleaned the IACV already. I'm lost just like Verdesco.

Do you have your valve cover connected to your intake tubing? Many people use a "breather' on there valve cover which gets clogged over time and does not allow air to escape. This often results in idol issues.
Not saying its definitely it, but its a possibility.

Also try cleaning and adjusting the FITV (click link in my signature).
