this just started happening like 3 days ago. but my car idles steadily at 1250 rpm instead of 750. all of my o2 sensors are replaced. any ideas? could it be a vacuum problem??

you could unplug the IAC (idle air control) valve sensor and see if that lowers the RPM's. It's located at the rear of the upper intake manifold and is shaped like a mini soda can. I had the similar problem and replaced it. The rpm's are fine now.
