Car idles too high

Got everything worked out except one thing.. the car seems like it idles way too high.

When I put it in gear [a4] it jerks way too hard... [new tranny mount so its not that]..

also car is hard to stop ... pulls way too hard at stop

how can i adjust this without EDIT?

I have stock TB... hasnt been tampered with.

I do have a ported MAF and !EGR

TIA.

Sure you dont have a vacuum leak like from !EGR?
This will cause a high idle, any vacuum leak will.
