High Idle
When I start my car and let it warm up the idle drops to 850 rpm. When I start driving it and then stop at a red light the car starts to idle at 1200 rpm. Even if I have been driving it for an hour straight. Sometimes it will drop to 850 rpm, but most of the time it stays high. Sometimes I can get the rpms to drop if I rev the car. This only started a couple of months ago. Did my idle screw loosen from the vibrations from the engine? I'm totally baffled with this one.

Ya it turns out that the air-bleed screw was completely open. It turned it all the way to the right and backed it off a half turn now I have the perfect idle. Thanks moehler.
