05 v6 problems revving idle & overheating

my 05 started revving high at idle...took it to my shop and changed the tb. that solved the issue for a while but has come back at a rather smaller rev But now the car has begun to overheat! left me stranded on the side of the road more than once! my shop replaced the sensor and the fan switch first time to solve the problem, but this does not seem to solve the problem.

the catch is that if you catch the car about to overheat and turn it off to sit for a while, then turn it back on it is completely fine until the next time it decides to overheat again!

anyone seen this before? the car was in an accident before this all started happening (deer dumbly decided to run accross the interstate at night), and the radiator and the fan were replaced then.
