You can try the reset.... key on 30 sec key off 30 sec do this 4 times see what happens. But my 08 runs at around 1000, 1050 at idle.

I think most TC's idle about 950-1000 rpm
Some EFI Controllers allow Idle Adjustments
You can file down the tip of the throttle stop or if you have the tool readjust it to lower the idle a little.

After it's completely warmed up it may idle down to 900-950 but that's going to be about as far as she'll go.
