Idle is a bit high as well so I would try to check for vacuum leaks and/or improperly closing throttle flap. Then I would adjust the idle and idle mixture to spec. Ken Wilford had an excellent write up on troubleshooting idle issues that would come in handy. I don't have a link, so Google may be the way. Chris.
