OBD codes said IACV and throttle position sensor were bad. I replaced the idle air control valve and throttle position sensor and cleaned the throttle body but still idles at 2000 rpms. What else could be wrong?

Look for vacuum leaks? Make sure throttle plate is absolutely shut when gas pedal is relaxed. There is usually an type of adjust screw for this setting so its shut but dont jam/stick.

The problem was a 3 inch vaccum line going from the back of the valve cover to the intake. Problem solved. Thank You!
