    The car has been idling high for a few days . These codes came up , 10128 ,P0135, PO401 ,P1635 ..I am not sure if any of these has to do with idle control .
    It wants to idle around 1500 rpm and higher . I disconnected the TPS and it dropped the idle to around 900.
    I took off the TPS and it had a broken spring ,I replaced it .
    It still idles high , when I disconnect it , it will idle normal .When plugged back in while running it will also idle at around 900 .
    If I shut it off and restart it will again idle high around 1500 too 2000 rpm .
    The throttle body has also been cleaned .

    Is there something I am missing or doing wrong ?

    Is there a way to reset the computer to recognize the new part or a way to adjust the idle back to normal ?

    thanks in advance , James

    I Unplugged the TPS ,drove it a few miles with no problem . Got Back , shutdown and restarted and plugged it back up ,it again idled high .
    I unplugged it ,plugged it back in while running and it idled back down to normal .
    When I shut it off cranked it back up again , the Rpms was again high around 2000.

    The TPS is new and seems to work only when it wants to .
    What am i missing here ?
    Any clues or suggestions ?

    Have you looked at the IAC? (Idle air control valve)
