I'm having high idle issues too, although not quite as high, and in my case it's cycling from 1200~1600rpm. I've taken a cursory look-see under the hood but it's just too cold here to do a proper diagnosis and it'll probably have to wait another couple of months unless we have a warm spell.
I imagine that this is fairly common in cars this old. Mine's a '92, Turbo. When I do figure it out I'll post here in case it helps you or others. Hopefully nothing serious and one of the most common causes.
Stupid question, but does this tend to reduce mpg, especially if you drive on city streets a lot with stop signs, lights, traffic, etc.? I'm getting around 150-160 miles a tank, which is pretty bad, especially at today's prices.
