My 2003 impala stays in high idle when its in park. How do I fix this problem
SOURCE: HIGH IDLE, 1500rpm
No, its the intake manifold gasket. This is a very common problem with the SL/SL1 engine. There are only three bolts around the #1 cylinder and no bridge in the block between #1 and #2 cylinders. The flexible factory gasket tends to pull out in this area.
A confirmation of this is to spray some carburetor cleaner, fuel injector cleaner or even WD40 on the gasket around the #1 cylinder and if it affects the idle in any way, its because its leaking.
Felpro makes a good replacement gasket.

I have a 2001 Nissan Altima and mine did the same thing. We replaced the intake gasket. It costs around $5.50, but it requires several different kinds of tools. We spent over $100 in special sockets, etc. But once you replace that gasket, it will idle better.

CHECK IT FOR VACUUM LEAKS. INCLUDE THE EGR VALVE, VACUUM BOOSTER, INTAKE GASKETS, ETC. ALSO CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY IT MAY BE HELD OPEN BY THE THROTTLE CABLE.
