Surging Idle

'88 SPG
Just changed VC & manifold intake bushings and nipples. No problem with cold start or warm idle (850-900 rpms). Don't know if it's a strange coincidence, but when car had been idling for about 20 minutes at lunchtime yesterday as I was running errands and eating lunch in car, rpms started to surge up to 1500-1800 out of the blue. I tried rapping on the AIC and rpms kicked down but quickly went back up again. When I got home last night, I cleaned out the AIC with carb cleaner and WD 40 and for good measure (from previous posts) cleaned earthing points next to t-stat and radiator draincock. Car ran fine last night afterwards-no rpm surge.
This morning right after cold start, rpms start surging up to 1500 just like yesterday. Bad AIC? Can I swap aic from ‘86T? to see if rpm surge problem surging persists?
