No i did not touch the battery.When i got the car it idled on 1500 the previous owner said just hit the accelerator and it will idle properly but this did not happen it seemed to fix itself. It now idles on around 800 but if the weather is a bit colder it will idle on a thousand i wonder what will happen in winter that is why i am trying now to find out what is going on.

It is non turbo i was going to put it in for a complete tune service and check but all the quotes i got were for around $800.00 i presume this was high because as you said they do not know anything about them and never worked on one. 
 

Welcome, dave.
Higher idle on cold is normal, but it should settle as the engine warms up. If the engine is staying cold, the thermostat may have been removed/bypassed.

Dave you also say: "but is down on horsepower"
What makes you think that?
 

You can get a high idle if your coolant system has a leek or has not had the air bleed out correctly as it creates an air lock around the idle control sensor which send the wrong signal to ECU. The ECU think the engine is running cooler, it gets more fuel, which gives higher revs at idle.

Maybe i just expect it to go faster than it does but i will find out when i get it tested

Your feelings are totally normal....NA's give reliability​, nothing more.
