Just a shot in the dark .............
No matter what kind of FI system an engine has, shouldn't it have some sort of throttle position sensor to tell the computer how much fuel is needed?
Maybe an adjustment on it would cure the problem.

Throttle position sensor. You can ohm the connections/ wires on it while it's disconnected.

Throttle position sensor should not need to be touched and is something set from factory. I still agree with the possibility of a vacuum leak and would be diagnosing that first.

its your speed sensor. its the large hex head with a wire connector on the end on the left rear side of the throttle body.

I have that problem with mine and I think it has to do with the neutral safety switch on the bottom of the column. When I wiggle the shifter to a certain spot in neutral the it will idle down to normal if it is warmed up. Not sure how that is hooked up to or handled by the ECM.

That's WEIRD ..........
But I would not be surprised for something like that to happen to me with all the weird **** that goes on in my world that defies logical explanation.

Yah I'm leaving it alone like that because in the winter I can let it high idle longer to warm up better. Sometimes I pull up to a light and can tell the idle is high and if I kick it into the neutral sweet spot it will idle right down, very strange.
