98 hatch Idle Issues

Hello,

I have a 98 hatch with the dx motor in it. When I first start the car, the idle is around 2500 rpms. Whenever I'm sitting at a light or shifting the idle is at 2500 rpms. After about 20 minutes of driving, it will go back to the normal range 800-1000 rpms. Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks

sounds like you have a vaccum leak. spend some time inspecting all running to the intake manifold.
