Default Car idles at 1500 rpms when fully warmed!!

Just bought a s2k but notice it’s idling higher than usual. It sits at 1500 rpms. Any causes or problems I should look after.

Try the idle relearn procedure.

Pull "backup" fuse under dash for ~10 minutes. Put back in, start the car with all accessories powered off. Let engine warm up to temperature and let the radiator fan cycle 2-3 times.

I’ve done it a couple of times already and doesn’t seem to help, maybe I’ll try cleaning out the iacv today and see what happens.

Proper amount of slack in the throttle cable?

Throttle cable is good. No cel light whatsoever. So when I drive and come to a complete stop the rpms slowly but stay around 1300 rpms. I did try cleaning the iacv with some brake cleaner but nothing has changed.

I’ve searched for leaks and haven’t found anything. I’m not sure how good skunk2 throttle body are, maybe that’s causing the revving. I’m clueless
