1997 Taurus wierd Rpm's

My 1997 Taurus with the DOHV engine it runs great, but I have a question, When I start the car it takes for ever for the rpm's to go below 1000, It starts out at like 1900 rpms and then after 3 or 4 minutes will rev down below 1000. I was told that it is best to put the car in gear when the rpm's are low, other wise it goes into gear so hard, I just hate waiting for it, so just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and is so any input on how to make it get lower faster, anything would be helpfull! thanks again!

Do the RPMs drop if you slightly gun the motor?

Does it do the same thing when the engine is warm? If so, it is possible the Coolant Temperature Sensor is reading wrong. Another possibility is a hanging Idle Speed Control motor.
