yo...heres the deal. 92' mustang 5.0

i recently cleaned the inside of my throttle body. I had to remove the intake and what not in order to do so. everythings going good until I put everything back together. I start up my car and notice a difference in my idle. I let it do its thing and hope that the idle drops. It does but it is not where I want it to be. My car idles at about 1000 rpm and when im driving and throw it into neutral it stays at about 1200 rpm until i come to a complete stop. i figure i prolly missed something while reinstalling everything and its prolly no big deal but it kinda freaks me out when my car idles high. i figured it mite be my IAC valve but i just replaced that no less then 4 months ago. any suggestions would be of great help. PEACE.

Whats your timing and TPS set at? As soon as you adjust your idle screw your TPS needs re adjustment.
