Hi everyone! I recently took delivery of a 1997 DB7 coupe (automatic), and I noticed after completing a few 30 mile drives that the engine revs up to 1500 rpm when I put it into Park in the garage. I tried quickly revving it up a bit more and then letting off the throttle to see if it was the choke, but it stayed at 1500rpm. I then shut it off and it stopped normally. It never does this after short trips around town, just the longer ones.
Anyone know what is causing this?
Thanks! Z.

The throttle cables need setting up sounds like some one has adjusted them to tight
