is that just on start up? if it is then it's normal, a little high, but normal. it should come down after being warmed up. FAQ's. if it does it all the time I would check to see that the fast idle system isn't stuck.

Check for vaccum leaks. You can use a smoke machine or some propane to make it easier.

Whenever that happened to me it turned out to be lack of coolant. I had a bad leak and I could tell, when the car turned on, that it was being weird just by the way it idled at startup.

Check your coolant to make sure it's not frozen due to a bad mixture. I dunno where spearfish is so it's just a stab in the dark.

What have you checked so far?
