I did a HCI swap and now I have idle issues. I can start the car up and it idle's half decent, but once I drive it 2 blocks from my house the idle will not drop below 2100 rpm. I set the tps at .98

Pull codes.
Also, when it acts up, try unplugging the IAC electrical connector. See if it falls back to a normal idle.

If not: Wait for it to idle high. if you turn the car off and back on, does the issue go away for a little bit?

Good luck.
