Fast idle corrected with IAC clean?

[Al_S]

Greetings,

New user to the forum.

2004 Corolla S with 74k. Just purchased from original owner who produced all dealer service records. No sign of IAC replacement or service/replacement of IAC. Car is very, clean and appears well cared for.

The idle is about 2k and a bit higher when cold but settles out when warmed up. I'm concerned that this high of an idle is not good to an engine that's been sitting overnight with much of the oil drained back to the pan, and then starting at what I think may be higher than normal revs.

Question:

Is this remedied with correcting any sticking components (if there are any that apply) and some cleaning.

Thanks in advance

Hey,
I mover your thread from the intro section to the Corolla section where you will have a better chance of getting an answer from some cool, knowledgeable guys who know the Corolla.
Good luck and welcome to the forum

2K when cold is normal for toyotas.
