Chevrolet Silverado High idle Problem

When starting truck when it is cold or warm, it does not switch off of high idle. When driving for awhile it still does not switch off, once you put it in park it is still on high idle at about 1200rpm. I clean the carburator and idle control valve and it still does not change anything.
