Nice looking car. Anyways...when a buddy and I installed headers and an ORY on his 98 Z28, it idled really high on the first startup. We reved it a few times and allowed it to run for a while, but it didn't seem to want to idle down. So we shut the car down, let it sit for a minute and then fired it back up and it idled just fine and has ever since. Not sure if the computer just needed time to relearn or adjust to the new exhaust or what? I don't know if this helps with your situation, but thats my experience with high idle. I'm gonna keep my eye on this thread. I'm curious to see what others have to say.

My car does what you are talking about at random. Have not figured it out yet. Will hold at 2500 till I come to a complete stop. Once rolling it goes right back up. Like cruise control on the highway almost. Hoping when I get it tuned for the 42lb injectors, they will figure it out. Very annoying.
