Clean and tighten FITV valve. See the DIY for some pictures.

That sounds about right, my 95 does the same thing. Which means it is either normal or we both have an issue that I never knew about...lol. It should drop to ~750 rpm's when warm/normal temp.

Fast idle when first started cold, then gradually dropping to normal as the engine warms up? That's exactly what it's supposed to do.
