Poor Idle

Hey guys, I was wonering if i could get some help. I have an 89 gt, and when you first start it up, it idles low (like 600-700 rpm) then after you drive for just one or two minutes, the idle will go back up to about 950(which from i understand is in the normal range)Any ideas? Thanks

Okay I checked my TPS and i got .7 at idle and 4.6 at WOT. Anyone know what the values are supposed to be? If the sensor is bad does anyone know where i could pick one up for cheap <IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">

Did you clean it with brake cleaner or something else. If you used carb cleaner that will leave a residue and that may be whats causing your high idle
