Cold idle is normally high, but mine is only about 2200-2500. Check for vacuum leaks if once the car is warm it is still above about 700-800

Estimated time it was stored?

Is that the idle once the car is at operating temp? If not was it it at operating temp?

Have you cleaned the throttle body? Does it feel like the butterflies are sticking? With no pressure on the accel pedal do the butterflies appear fully closed?
