it very well could be a vaccume leak it also could be the tune. Have you put it on some form of scanner so you can see whats going on?

A high idle usually means a vacuum leak.

i know your not suppost to but i put a little either in the engine bay no pick up on the idle... i just got the computer back from the tuner he had previously tuned it for the kid i bought the car from so i just had him check it just to make sure and everything checks out i didnt wanna get to much either in the engine bay so im going to wait until i can get some propane or a can of wd40 i guess ill have to see what happens
