Thats really high I would look for a vaccuum leak to start with look at ur s shaped hose going from ur intake manifold to ur valve cover they colaspe and get holes in them.U can also let it idle and spray carb spray anywhere u think there could be a leak if the rpms increase or decrease or the car stalls or runs rough then u have a leak. If u find nothing there u can always take out ur idle air control valve and clean it. Do u have any codes?Let me know what u find.

Thank you for your suggestions will try one or all tonight. Thought it had something to do with new clutch or gears what a relief
