Exclamation Diagnose my issue@!

Engine is a 2002 ls1/6 car is a 84 trans am
has prc 5.3 heads and a ms3 cam. bolt ons too
t56 9" etc...

My issue: When i start the car the rpms shoot up to 2k-3k they hold there for about 3-5 seconds. if i put it in gear it does it again, it will repeat this a few times, then it goes away. It only does this when i initially start the car, if im driving it and go to a stop sign, it wont do it. BUT if i shut the car off, and turn it back on, same thing.

im running a scanner tool on my phone through the obd2, im not getting any check engine lights, and the car WAS tuned when i first put the combo together. the temps are what they should read when the key is turned on, but the car isnt running. I did notice my throttle position sometimes is anywhere between 0% and .8%

thanks for taking the time to read this.

What are the IAC counts? (Or did you go DBW TB?) COuld be that the IAC is going as far open as it can and getting stuck.

Possibly IAC, MAF Sensors. Throttle Body may need cleaned.

Do you have access to HPTUNERS or EFILIVE?

It sounds like too high a commanded IAC park position and too much start up air adder in the toon.
