Top of the rad. cap is fine. If the coolant was recently changed or something then I'd make sure the system was bleed as an air pocket can cause your exact problem. I'd also check the wiring from the IACV to the ECU and maybe unplug and plug back in all the connectors to the ECU and see of that changes anything. You may have a loose pin fit there.
