I had high idle issues as well as rough take off.

After trying several things that didn't work (tune up, reset computer --worked for short time) I found where someone said to replace the sparkplug wires and another said to replace the water termperature sensor. You should reset the computer after this as well.

The water temperature sensor is easy and inexpensive so I did it along with the wires. The reason for this sensor is that if it starts sending bad signals the computer does not know if the car is too hot or too cold. Most of the time the sensor malfunction will tell the computer that the engine is could and needs to increase the RPMs.

The spark plug wires had not been replaced for 100k miles and needed it by now anyhow. Either way, replacing these two items fixed my issues.
