I would recomend trying an SMC reset, if your fans are running when you're not performing any intensive tasks. As for a high idle, that is normal. The idle percentage is how much CPU is available for your machine to use, so a high idle is actually a good thing! Check out this article for more info on how you can read activity monitor. Are you running Mavericks?
Activity Manager must be set to show "All processes" to find the real culprits. If you post which version of the Mac OS you have, we can provide help on how to change that setting from its default vaule that limits the number of "hits" often missing the real troublemakers.
"iOS" in you profile is not a Mac computer OS--only worksfor Apple's iDevices
HIGH IDLE CPU 95%+ WHILE NOTHING IS USING OVER 5% HELP!!!!
