No More High Idle

I just noticed this A.M. my high idle doesnt work anymore, it was 20 outside too. Any idea what might cause that? It wasnt plugged up either.

5-7 min, it would usually kick in before I could get across the street.

Could be just a hickup... happens some time. Could also be the exhaust back pressure sensor...
