Idle Fluctuate

when my truck gets warmed up and have driven it for 20 miles i'll put it in park and let it run and the rpms will go up 100 for 15 sec then come back down. At first i thought it was because the AC was kicking on and off but I turned that off and still the same. It also seems like i have to roll it over a lot longer to get it started. I was questioning my IPR valve. I've got 262k on the truck. Is this going bad or in need of cleaning?

IPR could be a problem. It can cause weird idle issues.

Hard to say. Some have had luck just replacing o-rings or doing the rebuild process, others have had to buy a new IPR.
