Yeah, it's funny. Campbell's replaced the IAC valve back in March, and the car was fine for two or three weeks, then it gradually started doing it again.
Sometimes it seems like it's associated with a high-speed run, and other times not. I've had the same kind of idle situation you describe after coming off the highway following an hour or two at high speed: it'll run at 1500 RPM or so forever, apparently.
The throttle cable may be a possibility, but like you, I'm thinking it's more likely a wonky sensor somewhere...who knows, maybe I got a bad IAC valve back in March.
The weather does not seem to be a factor in my case....it's done it in the coldest, driest days of winter, and the hottest, most humid days of summer. Beats the heck outta me, and apparently, it also beats the heck out of the technicians at Campbell's.
As for selling...not actively pursuing a buyer, but if someone came along with a good offer, I'd definitely think about it. Good offer? Something close to $20K, I'd hope.
We must try to get together again sometime.
