I have a 97 vortec 5.7.
It idles high when I put it in gear drive or reverse put it in park or neutral it idles normal.
What would cause this. I have not done anything to it other than alternator and idler pulley

Connect a scan tool, verify ALL the sensors and computer outputs, especially the IAC.

Verify commanded idle speed vs. actual idle speed.

Probably the IACV, but like schurkey said, you’re going to need to hook up a scan tool to really know.
