Hyundai Elantra Body Problem

Replaced throttle sensor, car is still running 3000 RPM. I am not able to get it any lower, is there another part that controls the throttle. Or is there another problem?

Yes they do become sluggish in there performance,You can try a throttle body cleaning in the throttle plates, this may help relive the idle situation that you are encountering, The IAC motor is on side of throttle body.
