DeCarb

I recently took my car in for some maintenance, one of the things they tried sticking me for was to De-Carb my engine? What is this and is it worthwhile to do at 86k? (I declined their offer)

If you mean your idle was at 900 when fully warmed up then the idle speed was not set correctly...
