running a risk;
take it off and take a scissors and cut out gasket material that fits the bottom part of the iacv

It sounds like it could be the fast idle thermo valve. Take off the pipe that runs from the throttle housing to the air cleaner, you should see 2 holes just before the butterfly, cover up the bottom hole with your finger and see what happens if idle settles down then you need to take off the FITV and clean it (its located at the bottom of the throttle housing).
