I have a nice 800rpm idle when the car first starts up. After some driving, the car will sometimes just idle up to ~2000rpm at stop lights. It's not surge, it's a steady idle. Any ideas on why it's doing this? It's a 1992 gsx 5spd btw.

mine was doin this too. i ended up replacing the isc and adjusted the bov. and it went away. i dunno, it helped for a while but now i need a head gasket, and it does it after it gets hot. Don't know if this helped at all but good luck

is your throttle body sticking open?

My guess would be ISC, FIAV, or maybe a vacuum/boost leak that only acts up when everything is up to temp.
