Welcome to the forum Robert,

Good to have you with us.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Welcome to this friendly Forum, follow Graham's link for the technical stuff.

 

Welcome aboard, Robert

The high idle might be a dirty throttle body and/or mis-adjusted throttle cables....or faulty idle air control valve.

Is the check engine light coming on? If so, knowing the stored trouble codes would be very helpful.

I suggest posting re-posting this in the "X300" section where more eyes will see it, as not all members read every posting in the "New Member" section every day.

I might add that there are no rules against punctuation, upper-case letters, or individual sentences and paragraphs on this forum. Making postings easy to read helps others help you :-)



Cheers
DD
