hey guys i did a spark plug job yesterday....first i would like to say it took me 30 mins to do!!! but ive done them like 10 times now.

anyway when i turned the car on, the rpms stayed at 1200 and wont go down..and when you rev it they stay up and slowly come back to 1200rpms...do you think its the throttle body position sensor? cuz i dont think i hit any vacuum lines..and its kind of a weird that it happend after i did spark plugs
