Any ideas?

IAC reset
-Depress accelerator slightly
-Start engine, then release accelerator pedal, run engine for 5 seconds
-Turn ignition "OFF" for ten seconds
-Restart engine and check for proper idle operation

how to avoid damaging the pintle
My newly acquired '95 Trans Am has a high idle when I start it approx 5-10min after driving it (engine is still warm), which dies down after maybe 10-15secs.
I'm planning to clean the TB and IAC this weekend but am worried that I'll damage the 'pintle' (to clarify, is this the part attached to the spring??) how can I do this without making my idle worse? I've cleaned my TB on my 3rd gen before, but only while it was on the car, I've heard this can cause the carbon buildup to seep into and plug the IAC?
all help appreciated

any help please? i've been reading about people having more problems than prior to cleaning due to altering the pintle position - i already have a high-rev start-up as described above, is it still a good idea to clean the tb and iac?

question: when removing the tb from the plenum, is it totally safe to remove the two rubber hoses on the passenger side of the tb when the engine is off? is there going to be any coolant coming out?
