High RPM's

For some reason my RPM's have been at about 2000 when I put my car in park or neutral and about 1500 in drive. Earlier today i was idleing at about 42 mph. Any suggestions?

Same here, sometimes it will idle high for a few seconds and go back to normal but if not a little press on the gas usually does it

Almost sounds like your "choke" is staying on.

If you adjusted your TPS or IAC then it may take a few starts before normal idle returns.

Do you have a 5spd?

For the past 3 days now whenever i put my car in park the rpms stay just a tad bit below the line for 1000. It goes back down to normal idle after about 5 or 6 minutes. This is with ECON on with the temp set at 80...setting to HI. Happens with econ off too i think.

Well its going to the shop now because i went out and started it and left it in park for about 30 sec and the rms were going 1000-1500-1000-1500 and so on. The check engine light came on so i turned it off and started up and it didnt do it so I rode around the block, then put it in park and it did it again. it does it in neutral too.

check all your hoses under the intake and such. these could fall off and effectively mess up all vacum related systems.
