Unhappy Throttle sticks?

I am working on a 1990 F-250 with the 5.8L engine. Recently when I push the clutch in to shift the engine continues at its current rpm then slowly falls down to idle. I have lubed everything that can be. I replaced the throttle position sensor.....several different ways....and it still does it. Any help? I am a GM guy so I am not to familiar with these systems.

Probably the idle air solenoid.

Also known as the IAC. It is a round solenoid located pn the side of the throttlebody with 2 wires going to it.
