Ok. Im not sure if this is even a problem or not. The problem is that the idle takes a long time to kick back down. Whether the car is warmed up or not (happens all the time). It will sit at the normal (little bit under 1000rpm). Then when I give some gas, it jumps up as it should but sticks at about almost 2000 and goes down EVER SO SLOWLY. (Makes for some poor gas milage) I just dont know what it is. I am not a car guy as you can tell. Sorry. If anyone can assist me with finding out what the problem is, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Ok thank you so much. I will definately get those checked out. And thanks for the quick response as well. Did you by any chance see my other question about my transmission issue?
