Is the emissions sticker still under the hood? Check there as it gives the idle speed specs for your car

would a tune up have an effect on it.. either to lower it or make it "regular" if it were not what it says under the hood ?

700 is about right, 753 is what mine idles at when they do the emissions test. YES a tune up would make it idle smoother.
