yesterday i got my car shipped to me from missouri where it has been for the last 8 months and when i got it off the shippers truck i was already expetecing problems. when i started it to drive it into my back yard i noticed the idle was revving up when i took it out of gear. so i changed the oil and air filter and started it up and the idkle seemed fine unitl i moved it and then same problem idle revving when i take it out of gear. this morning i went outside to start it up and thwe idle was running high from the get go and only got higher asd the car warmed up[ what should i do?

I think the gear issue and the idle may be a little coincidental, I would first ,clean the throttlebody and throttleplate, of any carbon/debris, then check plugs and wires, and pcv valve, from there egr. let me know what happens
