High idle on cold starts and low idle once warm?
Alright, so I picked up a sc300 and it idled at 1900RPM then slowly dropped down to the standard 700, but after driving it to the gas station, it was idleing at 200rpm and surging a tiny bit, not more than 50rpm surges. As soon as you leave idle, the car drives prefectly and there is no surging or any indication of a poor idle. I'm thinking IACV or a dirty maf, maybe a vacuum leak, anyone know a fix for this?

The IACV does sound like a pretty good lead. When i took it off to clean it, there ended up being a quarter inch of buildup on the prong that adjusts the airflow. Good luck and keep us posted.
