Could be symptoms of vacuum leak. Idle is determined by how much air enters intake passage. More air higher idle. Idle is computer controlled by idle air valve. Excess air entering thru leak can raise idle/ cause rough running. Also check each cylinder for proper fuel/spark and spark plug condition and compression value.
