This may not be it but I had an issue with RPM going to like 2800 RPM and staying there for about a minute before it went down. Disconnect your Idle Control Valve and see if your RPM goes super low. If it doesn't, most likely the issue is that part. Otherwise, you may also check your Throttle Position Sensor, although I doubt it's that.
