Give us those extra details and maybe someone can help. For instance, does it idle back to normal after a "bit" and if so how long does that take? What things have you already tried?

it tends to take a few minutes before it idles back to normal, i havent tried much besides cleaning the idle sensor, and it has now started to occasionally do it while i drive the car too, when i first start it up and it idles high i turn it off then turn back on and it either goes away or continues to idle high so i just repeat that and it tends to go away after turning it off twice

Are any error codes showing? Have you tried disconnecting the battery and allowing the computer to reset? Make sure you have your radio security code before you do if it still has the factory sound system.
