The obvious answer , given the above description , is that regardless of what the never accurate factory Tach says , your idle speed is way too high

ESPECIALLY with a new tune , depending on who the tuner was ....

If you didn't do the tune yourself , remember this ;

Mechanics are kinda like Doctors in that some graduate at the top of their class , some make it through with OK to so-so grades , and some get by barely but with the grace of God . So it goes that since tuning can be seen as being like mini brain surgery , who did ya have working on your car's brains ?

Your idle speed is too high. Adjust idle speed down
