You need to know if its a vac leak or if the computer is making the valve open too far.

Thanks.

just do induction / throttle body cleaning - will solve high idle on start up

When a car is idling it is at rest.The idle setting refers to the engine revolutions or 'revs'.If the setting is increased so that the 'revs' are greater,the engine will not stall at rest.This is 'high idle'!

the O2 sensor works on one volt .5 is around the running voltage, i would refit the air hose as it will run the converter hotter at idle.

Did you install new spark plugs? Definitely replace the O2 sensor.

You may need an Idle Air Control Valve (a common problem), I would also change the thermostat as well. If its reading cold it will cause the car to idle high.
