Drove with my girlfriend to the zoo, and on the way back, I had a check engine light. Car was running well with the exception of a high idle at approx 1200 RPM. Got home, took out my handy dandy scan tool, scanned it and got a P0507 idle speed high. I cleared the code, started the car, idle was at 800 RPM again and the light has continued to stay off.

What can cause this? I'm new to Boxsters or modern cars that can provide DTC's. This particular boxster is a 2002 S. Does the car have an idle stabilizer valve that could be giving up the ghost? I'm not planning on worrying until it comes back, but what controls the idle speed on a boxster?

thanks!
