Default Idling at 2500 rpm

Alright, my car just started idling really high, even at normal operating temperatures. I have repleced the IAC and the TPS, and this was a couple months ago. I just had some work done on it and the guy said it should have its fuel system cleaned (TB, injectors etc). What could really be the problem? Sometimes if I punch the accelorator a couple times it comes back down. Does something need lubing or what? Thanks.

Replaced the MAP and it still does the same thing, actually worse. Any other ideas?

Also, it didn't start all of this until after my radiator went out.

take your throttle body off and make sure it's not hanging up on the inside. get some throttle body cleaner and some fine sandpaper or scotch pad and smooth out the inside of the throttle body. also, make sure none of ur vaccum lines have come unplugged. they all come out of a harness behind the throttle body and to the left.
