Ed, this may be out in left field ... but have you checked the calibration
of the tachometer ? They frequently read high, and if you were trying to
get it to idle at 2-300 actual rpm ...
And there's no law that it can't idle a bit fast anyway. Modern engines
idle a lot faster anyway, so it won't sound at all out of place at the stop
lights.
