Starting problems.

I have a 97 GTP with about 130,000 miles on it. Recently my car has been ideling at about 2000 RPMs all the time. I took it in to get fixed, and the shop said it was the gasket between the supercharger and the intake manifold... They wanted $300 to replace it, so I did it myself insead. After I got the new gasket on and got everything put back together I took it for a test drive. Everything seemed fine except it was still ideling way to high. So I started checking forums, and I saw someone suggested it might be the MAF or the TPS. So I took the MAF off and cleaned it, replaced it, started my car, and it was still ideling high. I shut the car off, and tried simply unplugging it. The car started fine again, but was still ideling high. So after that I plugged the connecter back in and now it won't start. It turns over fine, it just won't fire... I also just put a new PCM in, but I tried starting it with both the new one and the old one with no luck. Any ideas?

Re: Starting problems.

Have you removed the IAC to see if its all carboned up?

Push on the throttle a little bit and try to start it.
