If this is a 4.3 liter V-6, they are notorious for throttle body to intake manifold gasket air leaks.
You can use a long piece of heater hose or air hose to find the vacuum leak. Place one end of the hose to your ear and use the other end to search for the leak. Move the hose over the engine while engine is running and listen for a "hissing" sound.
Repair the leak, disconnect the negative battery cable for 3 to 5 minutes, start the vehicle and drive or 45 mph for 5+ miles. The IAC will relearn and the idle should return to normal.
Good luck, let me know.
Regards,
