did the procedure twice. still have the high idle. i'm beginning to think this tb is fubar. it's too bad the dude wont work with us on this one. obviously there is a problem with it.
Have you re-routed your throttle cable in any way? Does the throttle blade fit good against the walls of the bore or is there a slight gap? The blade angle can be adjusted if there is a slight gap by turning the adjusting screw or some call it the linkage stop. You'll need a T20 tamper-proof torx bit and adjust it from the back side. Facing the engine, turning the screw clockwise will lessen the gap and counter-clockwise will increas the gap. Do this 1/2 turn at a time and if the blade starts to stick, back it 1/4 turn.
If the answer to both these questions is no, then it sounds like you may have a sensor problem and I would think it would be the TPS other than the IAC.
I did notice that holding it up to the light, I can see light shining through all the way around the throttle blade. I thought that was strange because the one I took off, I could not see a any light shining through, but figured it was just dirty.The blade should be completely shut? No gap at all?

With the engine off and standing in front of the TB, turn the adjusting screw clockwise 1/2 turn at a time until you feel the blade stick while opening the blade with your hand. Once you feel the blade stick a slight amount, then turn it back 1/4 turn or until you no longer feel it sticking.
From the way you're describing it, the blade is not adjusted right which is allowing more air than the IAC sensor can compensate for.
I didnt think you could adjust the blades on our TBs?
And Kent, Ill call on that thing for you on Tuesday morning.
Yes they can be adjusted. The small round 'button' looking thing on the TB that the linkage rests on is a set screw that can be adjusted 'in' to increase the gap or 'out' to decrease the gap of the throttle blade. The larger the gap between the edges of the blade, the higher the idle will be. Too much gap and the IAC sensor will not be able to compensate for the additional air flow at idle.
