Mike I'm thinking it was my cheap eBay throttle body. I noticed the adjustment screw been chipping away at the throttle body area that it stops on. And from doing so a little piece was stuck on the tip of the adjustment screw. Which in return was causing the tps sensor to read wrong and causing the car to idle high. I'll post pics later on what I'm talking about.

Sorry pic taking with phone. Bigantws6 the adjustment screw is chipping away at the surface it stops on. The tip of the screw had a nice size aluminum chip on it causing it to read 17% closed throttle. I filed the surface smooth and the tip of the screw. It then was reading 3% closed throttle. I tried to adjust the screw but it wouldn't drop to 0% closed throttle. So I looked closer to the tps sensor I drilled the holes bigger so I could adjust it. Now it reads 0% closed and 99% full throttle. I have over 100 miles since the fix and still reads perfect and no codes.
