Default ~*HELP*~Car reving when turned on w/o foot on gas

okay my car is reving up to about 3000 RPM'S when i turn it on without my foot on the gas when it hasn't been on for a good 5+ hours. i wake in the morning turn it on and it does it then i have to rev it up by pressing the gas for it to stop and i usually have to rev it2-3 times before it stops..

DOES ANYONE NO WHAT IS GOING ON??? thanks in advance chris

the car will idle higher upon startup; but 3000 rpm is extreme. have the shop take a look at it

My car spikes to about 2k when started, and slowly idles down to 900 or so. It's done this since the day I got it. 3k seems a bit high, but I think the behavior in general is OK.

3k is high, take it back to the shop and I think there might be a throttle body TSB also or something like it maybe.

we dont have TB cables...but i think it can stick open and cause problems though.
