Check the gasket under the TBI unit. They are known to crack and disintegrate with age. This will cause a huge air leak and allow it to run faster. Thise didn't use MAF sensors, so the engine doesn't know it's getting more air than it realizes.

95, is it a Vortec engine? If TBI then it's most likely the throttle body gasket. If you have a scan tool check IAC and see if it's being commanded closed, if so it's a vacum leak. A smoke generator is a good way to test for a vacum leak, easy to make one from PVC pipe and Youtube videos.

Would a vacuum leak also cause it to have a low idle? Like low to were it sounds like it’s about to die?

Let's all get on the same page here.
Is this a 95 with a Vortec 350??
You said you had a high idle now you're talking about low idle.
