I've got a 1987 Nissan Stanza, (I know it should be in the boneyard
but it's the only thing I can afford right now). It's been running
fine until today. When I come to a stop the rpm not only stay high
but actually accelerate. As soon as I put the car in gear the rpm's
come down to an appropriate level. What's going on? How can it be
fixed?
Thanks in advance

Sticking idle air bybass, maybe. Look for a solenoid sort of device
on the throttle air body. Another possibility is a stuck distributor
advance plate.

What happens if you lift the accelerator pedal when this happens?
