Cant hurt! You know how when you pull open your airbox and it's full of
icky oil? well your whole intake system gets coated in the crap, so your IS
probably is too. Also clean out the t-body while yer at it. 
That high i and idle, my gut feeling is that it's probably not just the IS.
It sounds like a vacuum leak to me. Check the idle speed screw rubber
grommet and the injector o-rings. 2 common causes.
