Is there any warning indicators showing? Have you checked for trouble codes?

no took it to the garage they checked the fuel filter but they have no idea why

The high idling is due to a fault with the idle control system and there are many possible reasons why it is doing so. The first thing to check would be vacuum leaks and get the computer scanned for trouble code.
