High idle????

Went to start and the battery was dead. Jumped and started right away but now idles at 2000 rpms and won't come down. Any ideas.

Thanks

make sure nothing is holding the throttle plates open. I had a rubber gasket do that to me once. Scared the shiz out of me! Except mine was trying to redline.

I think i figured it out. Apparently i left the dome light on and it killed the bat. I think the high idle was the alternator trying to charge the battery. I ran to work cam out and it was still the same. Once i turned off the dome and let it run a while the revs came back down. Hopefully that was all it was. I have 158k on it and you should see how clean the motor is.
