High idle. L98

A friend of mine bought a bone stock L98 camaro that idles high. Is there a common thing that causes this or should I start looking for vaccumm leaks and what not. No check engine light or anything.

Definitely look for vacuum leaks. I don't know much about your L98 but on my TBI advancing the timing with out backing down the idle speed screw causes it to idle high.Put a timing light on it and see if it has been moved. If it has back it down some.
