Any suggestions? Is this a known issue? What damage can it cause my car?
Do you reckon any water got up into the engine compartment? If so, has it dried out good?

I'd take it up on the freeway and give it a good run to warm up/dry out the engine real good.

If that didn't settle it down, you may consider disconnecting the battery for a few minutes (then hook it back up ... ) to see if the idle will re-set.

Or take it into a dealer ....and they will most likely tell you "that's normal" ....

I hope you get it settled down.

PS - I don't believe that a high idle will cause any damage to the engine .... just to your nerves.
