Question slightly high idle

I have a 1995 f-150 5.8 auto 4x4 in a prevous thread I had a rough and searching idle. I found my problem it was a bad map sensor now it idles smooth and runs great. But when I come to a stop and put the truck in to neutral or park it idles at 1000-1100 rpm until I stab the throttle very quick and it will idle at about 750-875 just where I belive it should be, then when I drive it and stop it will do the same thing. Also I don't seem to have any vacume leaks any suggestions would be helpful

My first thought would be to check throttle cable and return springs for buildup of dirt and grease.
