My engine idle is running too high. I try to kick it down by revving it a little but it stays at around 1200 rpm no matter what. Is there anything I can check to fix it? It was running fine. I have heard that vacuum leaks can cause the idle to surge but I can't seem to find any vacuum lines. Thanks for your help.
