high idle

I pulled out of church parking lot tonight and was headed to a restaurant. Everything was great like normal and then I came up to a red light, and I noticed my truck idle was weird. So the light turned green, and I was wondering what was up. When I came to the next light, pushed the clutch in and stopped and notice it did not idle down as low as it normally does. When I pulled into the sonnys I sat in my truck for a minute with the windows down to see if I could notice it and then it wasn't doing it no more. Thanks for any help in advance.

Temp change?? Possible temp change caused a vacuum leak?

My Camaro does that at times.. Sometimes when I come to a stop it takes it a little bit to settle back down, but that's got a decent sized cam in it with a tune along with a lot of other stuff..
