Sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere. It could be a gasket, a hose dry rotted, cracked, fell off, or it could be between the MAS and the throttle body.

I was told that this was a common thing with the 94-95 mustangs. mine does this also. I will be cruising up to a red light and my rpms will be around 1500 with the clutch pushed in and as soon as I completely stop they slowly drop to normal. I asked the guy at a local mustang speed shop here about it and he said it is normal, as long as they drop when you stop. I replaced my tps today because mine would coninually rev at 2000 rpms even when stopped. so far it seems to have fixed that problem, but even with the brand new tps it still slowly drops when I come to a stop.

I asked about that at a local performance shop after they adjusted my timing, reconnected a vacuum hose and replaced the idle control.
When I got my '94 GT 2 months ago, its idle was all over the place. Definately having problems. Now, it's exactly how you guys are describing it. Idles at 1500 while its coasting. They told me its normal for these cars because it was designed to keep the idle somewhat close to traveling speed so the transmission could engage easier.
I thought the synchros were for that, but the T5 probably needs some help. Everybody I know has this 1500 idle at coasting too with their 94s.
I know somebody with a '96 and I'm pretty sure his doesn't do that.
I'll have to ask him about that.
