There's a thermal wax pellet in the throttle body that causes the high idle. If it's malfunctioning or if there's a vacuum leak, you may get a high idle. If you want, you can do the TB mod and get rid of it.

Check for vaccum leaks like UniqueTII said though first.

Is this a stock TB or a modded one?
If it's modded, did you pull the fast idle cam?
If it's stock, it's most likely the cold start system. The thermo pellet is not functioning, and it's either dead or the coolant passages are plugged (more likely).
