I cleaned my TB because it was sticking. I sprayed it with TB cleaner, moved the butterfly and sprayed also. Now it doesnt stick anymore but now when I give it gas the idle will stay up and only come down after I tap the pedal. What options do I have now?

It's probably your TPS sensor going bad.

See the sticky "Help me create the Surging Idle Checklist" at the top of the forum for help with your idle problems.

Thanks that does help.
It was odd that I cleaned it and then the idle would stay high.
The reason I cleaned it was when I would go to give the car gas the pedal didnt have the soft touch it would normally have. After I cleaned the TB that stick dissapeared but the high idle came down.
Thanks
