Default High Idle?
My car for the past two days idles pretty high.. When it's cold, it idles at around 1100 or so, and when it's warm, it'll idle at 900ish. Does this seem right? I have an LT4 hotcam kit (don't know if that helps any). It used to idle a lot lower. Tune was set to around 650-700rpms.

You can carefully take carb and choke cleaner around all of the vacuum lines, intake manifold, and TB gasket to help find out.
