Needing some help here

After changing out the Idle air control, adjusting my TPS to .98 volts, my car's idle still comes down way too slow. Could my TPS be a bad one or what.?I think that there's something else that is the problem here. I need any and all possibilities why this problem is still haunting me. Thanks guys

How slow is it idling? Is the throttle body dirty? (you can open the butterlfy valve with the engine off and look into it after disconnecting the breather hose) If there are no other problems and it's slower than you want, you could always consider adjusting the idle screw. What year is your ride?

Yep, I would adjust the idle screw. I had to do that when I changed out my tb, tps, and iac.

It idles fine once it's stopped. The problem I am having is in between shifts. When I push the clutch in, the rpms come down extremely slow. the car won't come to a complete idle until it is fully stopped. It's very strange. I have a brand new idle air control, so this is not the problem.

check the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) as this has lots to do with how the engine runs when you let off of the gas.

Where can I find this sensor on my 95 GT? and is there any way of testing it to make sure it is bad before I consider replacing it?

not sure if the 95 model uses one for sure, but if it does it will be mounted on the transmission somewhere. don't have clue how to test it though.

RE: Needing some help here

what is your timing set at. you could try bumping it up and use higher grade gas... this should give more power and should make the rpms drop off a little faster too.. jus an idea
