Just bought a 1985 4Runner, and the truck idles very high. No problems once I'm in gear, but while stationary the ebgine revs very high, any suggestions on what I should do?

What engine? Carburetor or FI?

Try cleaning the throttle body:

Thanks Brian for the link. Not sure what the throttle is, though I didn't know what a rear diff was either until I changed mine out yeaterday..this 4runner will be a learning curve

Use a sensor-safe cleaner

Check for vacum leaks and brake booster leaking by *pinching* shut the rubber hose going to brake booster with needle nose pliars(same can be done to other vacum lines as long as careful not to colapse metal lines they conect to if present.
