Default High Idle question

alright im about to sell the damn car im so frustrated! Ive done everything. Ok let me start at the beginning...
I replaced the intake gaskets, and after i got the upper and lower back on i had this high idle problem. Ive checked
every vacuum line three times over. Made sure all my sills were tight, my MAF is fine and i cleaned it twice and ive turned
it back and fourth. I cleaned my IAC twice and the inside is now brand new looking. Ive tried everything i know, nothing
has fixed it. I messed with my TPS and got it down to 1100-1200K but it was idling at 2500-3000. Now my car is running slightly lean judging by my spark plugs. I know its probably one of my 1million sensors or a short or something, but some help would be greatly appreciated.

yep, i actually took the damn screw out. Ive tried making sure the TB cable isnt snagged or hung up, no luck there either. Im about to take it all back out and go back through piece by piece. Its so damn annoying.
