2000 Buick Lesabre High idle at startup

Too fast an idle speed. If an engine without computerized idle speed control is idling too fast and refuses to come down to a normal idle speed despite your best efforts to back off the carburetor idle speed screw or air bypass adjustment screw (fuel injection), air is getting past the throttle somewhere. Common leak paths include the carburetor and throttle body gaskets, carburetor insulator spacers, intake manifold gaskets, and of course, any of the engine's vacuum fittings, hoses and accessories. It is even possible that leaky O-rings around the fuel injectors are allowing air to leak past the seals. Another overlooked item can be a worn throttle shaft and a defective idle speed speed control motor/valve stuck in the extended (high idle speed) position/throttle position sensor. Also the throttle plate could be binding in its bore and kinked accelerator cable, coolant temperature sensor might not be operating properly misleading the computer that the engine is still cold and computer throwing fuel at it raising the idle speed.

This is the same response given to a different problem on a different question. This could apply to any fuel related problem. Where is the air bypass adjustment screw? I don't think I can adjust the carburetor idle speed screw.

Did you clean out the IAC passages thoroughly? If so try doing below and see what happens. I cannot find the air bypass screw -somewhere within the throttle shaft there's a stopper screw that you can open and close the throttle plate check if it has one.
