Remove the throttle body (4 bolts) and then remove the idle air control (bolted to the TB, between the firewall and the throttle body)-clean the TB, the Idle air controller and remove the Throttle Position Sensor (opposite the IAC) and clean it if necessary. The IAC carbons up on these cars, as does the Throttle body-I know, I have a 99 SL with 180,000 miles, it is almost like an oil change as they get older.

My Audi 97 A4 revs high when i start it and then .transmission pulls when changing

I have a 99 a4 and it revs to about 1200 at first start, after a minute or so it lowers to about 750 rpm which is the norm.It has done this since it was bought. Also when the air condenser/conditioner is on it idles high. The condenser is run off the engine so i also lose a few horsepower.

I'm not sure what "transmission pulls when changing" means though, needs clarification.

High Idle

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.

Drive car for 5 min put in park has high idle like 1200 to 1500

You need to scan the computer and drive it with a scanner on it. Check for codes and watch the Throttle position sensor readings. It sounds like a problem with the tps or Idle speed motor.
