Hawkins, you posted this same question yesterday: https://camaroforums.com/forum/v6-te...gh-idle-67941/ although you seem to have gone from high idle to extremely high idle.
Please keep only one thread for the same question. Thanks.

Your motor is getting air from someplace. The fuel injection system can only add air thru the IAC motor but with that maxed out your going to be 1500 maybe 1800 RPMs max. So to run higher RPMs the motor needs more air. You could take a pc of sheet metal and close the front intake (throttle body) if the motor stalls there is something wrong with your throttle body if it keeps running at all its getting air some place else.

Warning!! DO NOT try to plug the thottle body with anything that could be sucked into the motor.
