2000 Oldsmobile Alero Front Wheel Drive Automatic 125000 miles

Hello. The RPMS in my car are kind of high. When Im in park or neutral the RPMS raise to about 1.5 to 2. When Im driving and i let go of the gas the car maintains speed because the RPMs are higher. I also noticed the engine temerature is a little higher than usual. Also when braking I have to floor the brake harder because the RPMs force the car foward. Thankyou

have your throttle position sensor checked, it could be faulty. I take it there is no check engine lights on, so I will rule out a vacuum leak
