sitting at a stop sign it idels up to 2.5 rpms and as i bring the clutch out it drops to normal. it doesnt do it all the time. i took the air censer in and tested on a meter  its good.  was told by Napa that it may be the master air flow intake or something like a vacum leak. i dont have the money to put it on a scope so was hoping to get some ideas. we just did oil change &  tune up changing all but the wires. the car has run like a trooper and still gets good gas milage dispite its milage. any ideas??

If you have recently worked on the motor, double and triple check all the  vacum lines. This sounds like one of them has come loose or fallen off.
