Car idling at 1500RPM from cold

Car idling at 1500RPM from cold
As title - It idles at 1500RPM as soon as it is started - I am sure it used to then settle within about 5 seconds back down but now it seems to stay there for a good couple of minutes while driving which I am almost certain it never used to.
Other than that it seems ok.
Any ideas? Oh yeah I put a new MAF on last week - Would I need to reset the ECU?

Thanks

You can't just disconnect the battery if it's a 94 like mine there is a procedure in which to do it in.Easy enough and you don't disconect the battery.

Well maybe it has done this since I had it - I just didnt think it had though as you move in slow moving traffic when you let the clutch out the revs go up if you know what I mean. That is fair enough - Glad it is not just mine then.
Thanks a lot.

Mine is also at 1.5 k at first start in the morning, but just after a 2-4 minutes, after I start to drive it it is settled down at around 500-600. It did that from day one, but in the traffic it never revved up.
My old pug used to do this for longer when it didn't like the fuel, sometimes even after 1 hour of driving it didn't go below 1.5 k. Good fuel+injector cleaner used to sort that out
