ive been searching and just took of my throttle body

befor my car was idleing at 2k and now it is at 4k. i took off the throttle body and no carbon depsits.

i searched for it and found a few good sites. but there sympot desciptions were alot different then mine

any imput will help. like i said it is off the car right now... thanks in advance
 
Did you do a boost leak test before taking the tb off? It could be a few things. Boost/Vac leak, leaking biss screw, bad isc, leaking tb seals, improperly adjusted biss screw. Did it do this suddenly or has it been doing this since you owned the car? Need alittle more history.
 
i have been searching but all the ones i looked at idled around 1500--2000. mine is going to 4 thousand.
 
Have you checked to see if your throttle cable was adjusted properly? Maybe it was holding the plate open.
