   oh right was going to suggest it was just warming itself up
   
   high revs is normally linked to
   idle control valve
   map sensor
   ecu coolant temp sensor
   Lambda sensor
   
   clean up the idle control valve see if it makes a difference, if not its time to replace parts

   Mine only does this when the engine is cold, after your 20 mile trip the engine should be fully heated up...
   
   Does it sound as if its still over-fueling becuase of the auto choke?
