Check vacuum leaks by pressurizing everything post-throttle body and listening/looking for air leaks. Probably the IACV, make sure it's plugged in. lol

Could be a shorted wire between IAC and pcm, or a shorted driver in the pcm. Get an IAC noid light to see if it works properly, use a tester to test the actual motor itself.
