do an internet search for "idle learn procedure" for your car and follow the steps. worked great for my 93 grand prix

the computer probably need to relearn the idle-try driving the car for 20-30 minutes,i u can. if that doesnt work,try keeping the car in drive at idle speed if possible without touching the gas pedal-even though it might stall,see if eventually the idle will raise up on its own.hope this helps you.

A cause for that would be an oxygen sensor getting wet, the one on the inlet side of the catalytic converter.

it would not be an O2 sensor, period, they would never cause a high idle, have u had this checked for trouble codes? A sticking idle speed control air bypass can cause this problem as well as a throttle position sensor, but run the codes, Kragen does it for free was well as other parts stores.
