I just replaced my throttlebody and sensors last night. The car starts up just fine but likes to idle pretty high. It was idling at 1500 and then going to 2000. It bounced back and forth between those two. I think I fixed that problem, but now it is idling at around 1100 rpms and when I tap on the gas it will go to about 2k and sit there. I was thinking the springs that coil around the controller on the throttlebody could be wound too tightly. I have the green spring and the regular spring wound and they are on the same step. Should I loosen one of them?
 
air is leaking past the throttle plate. Make a leak tester and test for leaks. I would put the tester on the TB elbow and test from there first. Did you put on new TB gaskets? Do a leak test and come back
