Hi. my wife has a 99 Lexus ES 300. The car's idle is around 1200 rpm's which
is way above the normal 750 rpm. Does anyone know what would cause this
problem. I do have knowledge of automotive technology.
Thanks for your help.

first check would be on all parts and hoses  correctly attached and all
sensors connected.  is it reaching correct temperature is next check (faulty
thermostat).  possible  faulty coolant temp sender to the ecu .
