Extremely High Idle After Throttle Body Removal

Need help here.

Just took off the throttle body of my 2002 GT to clean it. Had all of the sensors off (IAC, MAF, TPS). Put everything back toghter and it fired right up but imeadetly went to 3000 rpm and acted like it would keep climbing.

Thought I was very careful putting everything back together. Obviously the throttle is open but there is no play in the throttle cables. Could it be a sensor?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am assuming the idle was ok before the throttle body removal.......

3.1 or 3.8?

Well, a stuck open IAC valve, Throttle plate stuck open, vac leak.....TPS installed correctly?

Took everything back apart and didn't find anything.

Reassembled and she ran fine. So obviously I did something wrong the first time.

Sorry for starting the tread for nothing.
