High idle is likely the Idle Air Valve.

If all else is good, could be the Neutral/Park Switch. However, if the bulbs don't come on, and power is back there something isn't jiving...

Yup, I really do need to find time to get that head gasket replaced.

I got a call from the machine shop and the head on the plastic pile of crap is cracked. Anyone have a cheap Saturn head laying around?
