Mine does this too, then levels out. When I turn it off, the rpm goes up, but then levels off.

No it has to deal with the fact that we have relativly small engines and AC condenser demands quite a bit of power to operate.

open your windows, rpm idle should be around 1k,
 but i would seriously check your pully's, alternator and also the a/c unit. but there probably is nothing you can do about it. small motors, big underdrive |

If your engine is not ideling well, there is a screw that sits on your Throttle butterfly. Take it out or screw it in some more so that more air goes into the manifold chamber. That will raise the RPM by a notch.

LewFX, you wrote that could be the IAC valve, this valve is also know like ISC idle speed control?
