When I crank it up it idles very high. It will go down a little bit when I first crank it up but when I'm driving it and go to stop and mash the clutch it idles very high again. I know I have a vacuum leak somewhere in the HVAC system when I cut the defrost or feet on you can hear the difference. I also have a black vacuum hose coming off the top of the engine that I have no clue where it goes.

This sounds like you may have a vacuum leak under the throttle body, or the IAC motor needs to be replaced and the passages serviced (cleaned).

Here is a guide that can help:

And use this guide when the engine is cold only:

Here is the location of the IAC motor so you can swap it out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
