Yeah, it should idle a bit lower than that, probably why it's clunking into gear.

Try pulling the IAC and cleaning it, also check for vacuum leaks.

Clean IAC and TPS or buy new ones.

remove the vacuum hoses attached to the intake manifold one per one closing the hole with the finger until you find the leak.
