That makes sense. When you’re engine is cold, it runs off of a preprogrammed air/fuel map until the engine is warmed up, then it switches to various sensors to tell it how to adjust the air/fuel ratio.

What is going on sounds like a vacuum leak. Air is getting to your engine which is coming in past the MAF sensor. Can you check around and see if any hoses have come loose?

I agree with Vee. The high idle issue is a recurring theme with these cars, and you will find a wealth of material in numerous threads in this forum. You havent mentioned whether your car is supercharged or normally aspirated, and whilst I have yet to see an idle issue attributable to the supercharger, its assorted plumbing makes tackling idle problems much more difficult.

Coolant Temp sensor is a $20 part and should take you 5 minutes to replace.
