Do a boost leak test as well but I would suggest testing the IAC for damaged coils.
 
on the video where you go to the engine bay....did you start it and it reved up that high and get stuck? And the video with you flooring it ......im on my phone listenin and it's hard to hear well but is it knockin or tappin ?? I'll listen better tomorow at work
 
Man straight out the throttle cable is not adjusted right loosen the 2 10mm bolts and give a bit of slack and you'll be good to go.And or check to see if the pedal is not coming up all the way.Did you just install some kind of wires under the dash???like for a stereo or something?

I agree, adjust your throttle cable. To back up what he said, The two bolts are on the back side of the intake manifold and hold slack on the throttle cable. You can follow the cable from the throttle body to these bolts. They're not hard to find. If that doesn't fix your problem, let us know.

its not the throttle cable. i give it all the slack and the throttle plate stays in the same position. i took it off and its closed all the way. but for some reason when i tighten it it lowers the idle. maybe the tps sensor? ### wen i first start the car it idles low. and starts raising up higher. and when i disconect the tps the engine jst hick ups for .5sec and the rpms stay the same. what u think?

Also clean the throtle body it can be sticking.

it does stick! but it doesnt even have carbon build up. just alil black. u think its warped? or something?

the knocking or tapping noise is from my doors/windows. i have the side panels off for some paint
 
How does it do when your into boost? Any sputtering or anything?

Another thing to try- unplug the MAF when it's up that high and see how the idle changes.

Test the IAC, TPS, MAF, try adjusting the biss after the others, but first off clean your TB so that it moves freely and doesn't get stuck.

yea i took off the tb and cleaned it and still gets stuck. its like the plate is too big inside the TB. so idk. and ima test those sensors today. and i only hear the boost in 2nd and 3rd spool. but in the video when i floor it i noticed that in 4th gear the boost aint as high. is that right?
 
Check for a boost leaks, you can make a boost leak tester for under 15 bucks. I had the same thing happen to me but instead of the rpms wanting to drop when you do a cold start, mine would want to drop down on a warm start. I had a boost leak at the throttle body and a vacuum line.
