Haven't posted in a while, but here's what happened. I took it to a mechanic and he cleaned and reset the throttle body, and said that should fix it, and charged me $130. After driving for a few days realized it wasn't fixed. He said he checked for vac leaks and didn't find anything. Don't know where else to look.

Start by getting a different mechanic... I kid.

My car was revving as the OP had stated. I went through the usual test for vacuum leaks. No leaks. I then used the usual checks for pcv failure. I didn't notice the typical symptoms when checking for this. However, since the car had 155K miles and this could very likely be the original pcv or if not had not been replaced since I had it for over 70K miles, I decided to replace it. $180 is a lot better than blowing the rear main seal. It worked, now my RPMs are settling happily where they should.
