The idle rpm's go up while moving that's normal on a stick shift the rpm's get kicked up otherwise when you let off the gas to shift the rpm's would drop too low.You said the rpm's go back down to normal when your not moving that is the computer bringing them back down.That isn't a sticking throttle plate or a sticking idle air control valve.From what you describe sound's normal.
