Engine reving higher than normal
My sister's car is revving higher than normal. She told me that when the car is stopped it is revving around 3000rpms. She lets it warm up for over 5 min in the mornings. Could it be the timing belt, thermostat? I'm just not sure.

maybe a plugged filter or stuck throttle cable? :idunno:

i had mine idle high when the engine was warm, found out i knocked a vacuum hose loose when i was working on it, check to see if all the hoses to the manifold are connected and no leaks can be found
