I doubt your idle screw is off if you have not screwed with it. I had a smiliar problem when I tightened my throttle cable....make sure the little peg on the bottom of....I don't know what to call it but the part where the cable hooks (cable holder), make sure that touches the metal when you are at idle. Also a vacuum leak will cause a high idle. Good luck.
