Default common causes for high idle 92 LS400

My tach doesn't work (dont worry we are addressing that in a the BIG cluster thread), but my idle speed feels high and I get harsh gear engagement.

Engine runs beautifully with around 150k miles on it.

Obviously I am going to check the IAC for cloggage.

Any other suggestions?

IACV is the most common cause, you can get a used Idle Air Control Valve on ebay for $50 - $75 or it could be something as simple as a vacuum leak or the Engine Control Temp Sensor

my IACV was not clogged, it was stuck, and no amount of cleaning or soaking in solvent was able to unstick it

Do you suppose this could also affect a 1995 model as I'm having high idle issues as well?
