Default Constant High Idle

Question for you Tech Guys,
My car seems to linger at about 2000 rpm after I push in the clutch and then suddenly drops to idle after I have stopped for about 10 seconds...MAF ?

Mods? Has the car been tuned?

Miles? Year?

Color? Bodystyle? Social security number?

Okay so the bottom few may not be relevant, but mods and if it's been tuned are really important to know

I AGREE! That was my very first thought. MODDED or STOCK?

Makes a BIG difference..
