I am not running an EGR on my motor, nor all that emissions CRAP!!!

I would check to see if you have a vacume leak. Use a can of Brake cleaner and spray it in little areas where the lines and air seals are. If the idle goes up, then that is where your problem is. Typically, vacume leaks don't cause the motor to idle that high.

Check to see if your throttle stop is adjusted properly.

Check your TPS, and put a volt meter to it. It should read about .99-1.0 Ohms.

Last suggestion, put a timing light on your car. Make sure your base timing is between 10 and 14.
