usually it should idle in between 700 and 900 RPMs if u think it is idling to high look on ur throttle body for ur idler screw. This will allow u to adjust ur idle.

According to the Helms:

Idle speed with headlight and cooling fans OFF: 750 plus or minus 50rpm
This is in both manual and automatic transmissions (auto being in the N or P position).

750 RPM's... 1,000 is too high... maybe check for vacuum leaks too along with the idler screw

^^ 750 +/- 50rpm. should be when the vehicle is at normal operating temp. (195-200 deg. F) or little below 1/2 on coolant temp gauge.

about 1200rpm when vehicle is cold is normal
