Idle problem

I have a 93 gt and after the car gets warmed up it starts to idle alot higher than normal. I don't know where to start on the problem. Thanks

I would set the idle the proper way as described in your haynes or Chilton.then check and or clean maf tps and Iac.then also check for vacuum leaks including ;lines,intake, injector o rings etc etc.

I can't mess with my idle to much, it's supercharged. Vacuum lines look good no leaks

Clean the iac. The iac can be an issue for our cars, carbon gets in them and causes problems. also run a KOEO test for codes, these cars can have codes W/O showing a check engine light. You still running EGR?
