The 9-5 will idle at that speed when cold, though I would doubt your location is cold enough (4℃ or below), it will then slow down when the engine warms up. Normally under a minute. I would start by checking the vacuum hoses for leaks, better yet, just replace them with silicon hose, 3mm, and that problem is solved.
