The IAC is open during starting and cold-engine operation. Throttle plate is sealed shut unless you press the accelerator. There should be no vacuum leaks other than the IAC. In other words, the IAC is the only path for air into the engine, so it must be open for initial idle. While cold, the idle rpm is higher (so the IAC is actually open its widest during cold idle); a/f is also richer during cold/cool engine conditions. The IAC closes a bit after the engine warmed up to reduce rpm.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
