It could be a vacuum line leak maybe. That does cause the idle to jump.

I'd suggest running some seafoam thru the intake tract ... That can clear the dirt out of the IAC and clear things up ... Also visually inspect all rubber hoses for cracking/dryrot

ok thanks guys, I'll try the sea foam and will also recheck the hoses. I'll let you guys know how it went.
