Weird idle issue

hello I am new to this forum I actually signed up to ask this question and hopefully get an answer. I have a 1989 ford 7.3 idi 89,000 original miles backed with a zf5 transmission. It idles around 900-1000 rpms no matter how warm or cold it is. I bought it with the timing advance and cold idle solenoid unplugged so I plugged them back in no difference. Still will sit at 1,000 rpms no matter the temp of the truck. I was just wondering if this is harmful for the truck or if there's anyway to fix it thanks.
