RPM are too high all of the time, at idle and going down the road.
Recently, I have been experiencing problems with my RPM being too high. When I first start the car, it will idle @ 3 grand and then eventually work its way down to 1500rpm. On the highway, I am redlining @ 65. Needless to say, gas mileage is shitty right now. It is all interelated. The rpm's on the car are just dialed up for some reason. I first suspected a vacum leak somewhere but can't find that. I disconnected the battery for a few hours hoping it might clear a bad code or something. I checked the ECU codes but it isn't throwing any. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

I don't see how you can be redlining at 65mph since rpm on the highway is a direct relation of gear and has nothing to do with how the car idles. sounds like you have two separate problems.
