Check your TPS.

Could be the TPS although it would have to be really out of wack to be idling that high. After you've checked the TPS, you might want to check that the throttle isn't binding somewhere. take it for a spin and park it if the high idle - pop your hood and make sure the throttle is coming to rest as it should. If it's not snapping back all the way, lube the crap out of the linkage until it does. I had this problem and I was actually setting my TPS with the throttle out of position - this only compounded the problem
