First check the error codes. they can be a lifesaver. Physically look under the hood for cracked or leaky vaccuum hoses. High idling often indicates a vaccuum leak somewhere. look at the vaccuum elbows on both the right and left side of the engine just about midway down the engine from front to back on the plenum- that's the big, black flat assy that channels the air as it goes into the engine.
Once again the codes can tell us alot.

    The car only idles high at start up when it under 35 deg. And then idel is then normal. No active error codes.

    Manuel- There is an Idle motor sensor in this car. I have yet to look it up in my books, but I suspect this of the map sensor could be contributing to this, but I'm not sure yet. Just thought I'd update you on this so you are not waiting on just me. The are perhaps others who can chime in on this. Guys??

Starting car idle is very high

sounds like your air intake gasket is leaking. If you take ether, or brake cleaner and spray it where the air intake is bolted on, the idle will come down to normal. Is this problem existing even after the engine is warmed up, or just when you first start it up?

My car is idling too high. How do I tune it down on a 2002 Chrysler 300m?

Wouldn't advise that. you are just trying to mask the problem, and it usually doesn't work. First, find out why. Have you had your diagnostic codes read? Is the car in good tune otherwise? maybe you have a vacuum leak-that definitely causes a high idle. Your air filter clean? Fuel pump at specs? Accelerator linkage working properly and not binding? Many, many things can cause a high idle condition: If it's a last resort to take it to a mechanic, find one you trust. Good luck.
