I'm not totally sure what your problem is because you have trouble expressing yourself through writing, but here's my attempt to answer:

Generally an engine will run at a higher rpm than idle when cold started. The IACV causes this and it helps the car warm up faster.

So if you think something is wrong when you start up your car on a hot day or you just drove it, and your car only churns to 800rpm and stays there, your IACV isn't adjusting idle because engine or air temps are probably warm. Nothing is wrong.

Ridding your avatar of the south-park character will help increase your credibility.

Your IACV is either needing a cleaning or your idle screw on the unit needs an adjustment..pretty much as long as it's running and not giving you to much of an issue your golden. I hope you enjoy your SR finally, but I would change the oil first considering all the issues you have had. I wouldn't want to hear the post about a spun bearing.

Stop bumping, less typing, more under the hood time!

Have codes, did you check them?

And for real.. no more bumps.
