I was hoping this was something that would be fixed by the tune yesterday but it is still doing it. It wants to idle at around 1800-2krpms when I am comming to a stop. It normally does settle down to about 800 rpms once I stop but when I have it in 3rd it will pull the car right along at 1800 with out my foot on the gas.

Someone figure this out, because my car does the same thing, only closer to 1400 RPM (1800 if I push the clutch in while rolling) and it drives me NUTS!

My F150 does that from time to time, I know for sure it has a vacuum leak.

I know it is common for it to keep the rpms up a bit while rolling to support accesories like the ac/alt but mine is just under 2k rpms. It didn't do this before the hci swap.

It sounds like a vacuum leak. Hanging idle with no check engines on a OBD I system, usually relates to a vacuum leak all the time with that concern. I'd vacuum pump the system and check to see if the circuit holds, if it doesn't then a smoke test through the evap system will determine were the leak is coming from. Usually the leak is from a loose fitting or cracked/melted pipe...when the car is warm and your hard on the throttle, does the engine detonate under load?? There's a few circuits for the vacuum system, not just one..if it does detonate like the previous question then your EGR circuit is the one leaking..
