I have a 91 3.6 US spec with a powerchip, intake, and exhaust. My car idles at 1000 rpm even when fully warmed up. Seems too high to me? Is this right?

turns out my car was idling too high. Right after the maf, theres a **** in the rubber where it cracked and its been sucking in more air. Basically the engine is reading that so much air is coming in but more really is. The result is my car is running lean and its idling too high. Fortunetly I ordered a new elbow from pacific bmw for about 15 bucks.
