Default hard start high idle

ok so here is my problem. i have a 91 gt. stock with headers and a throttle body. when its cold it will start right up and idle fine. then after afew miles of driving and it warms up the idle kicks up to 1200-1500. and while driving its like having cruise contol. then if i shut it off after it does this and restart it it acts like its flooded and you have to it the gas for it to start. when it starts it will jump to 3000 rpm and hang there for a few seconds then come down and stay at 1200-1500 rpm.scanned codes both koeo and koer tests came up with: 21, 31, 51, 67 and 94. anyone have any ideas? this is driving me crazy! any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Engine coolant temp sensor may be bad.
