No, the symptoms for a bad idle air control valve include a bouncing idle. If your intake manifold gasket is leaking, you may be able to tell by shooting some fuel injector cleaner where the intake interfaces with the block (while the engine is running). If the stuff gets sucked in while the engine speed changes, your gasket needs replacing.
Of course, some vacuum leaks in tubing are hard to find, especially when the tubing is hard from age. I recently replaced a whole bunch of vacuum tubes in my 89 Mazda. The biggest leak, though, was from the intake manifold gasket.

it dont bounce it just goes down after coming to a stop that is the only time i think the idle goes down down when my fan comes on . then when i use my automatic windows it takes power from the car , idle goes down
