Check for trouble codes. Consider stuck open Idle Air Control, or Throttle Plate (less likely). impMy mustang rpms is staying at 2200 and won't go no lower I undid my cables and touched them that's what I heard to do but that didn't work...any ideas if a sensor or something and what sensor it would be
Starting to think vacuum leak some where, which PCM is still able to "overcome" in efforts to reach idle speed. impI changed the iac and the idle is going back down now but when I drive and come to stop the rpms still wanna stay up for like 15 sec then goes down..do I have to do a idle re learn process or something ? Or was the valve not the fix I mean before I put the valve the rpms wouldn't go down at all now they do just takes like 15 sec
Does the car's speedometer work? Why does this matter? Because it is NORMAL for the PCM to keep the idle slightly higher while the car is moving. The PCM will only select slow idle when the car is stopped.I changed the iac and the idle is going back down now but when I drive and come to stop the rpms still wanna stay up for like 15 sec then goes down..
I haven't driven it for several days yet and the idle is still high like that when not moving at all and even when coming to a stop sign or red light it's never stayed that high beforeDoes the car's speedometer work?

Search on hanging idle as 1,000's have complained about it. The trick here is to understand the difference between a normal hanging idle and an abnormal hanging idle.
A 2,000 RPM idle isn't likely normal.
A 1200-1500 RPM idle while moving is normal.
Bottom line: IF the RPM eventually settles down to a normal slow idle that means that the IAC is working and is being commanded by the PCM.
Did you review any of the information provided in the trouble shooting IAC/idle link?
Regarding the relearning process. Is the battery and alternator in tip top shape? Have you driven the car for several days? If both are true then a working PCM has had more than enough time to re-learn.
