High Idle on cold start
It just began doing this after I cleaned the K&N filter. A new TPS is $220. ! A new IAC is $120 ! Yikes
Could there be a simpler fix? Why would it begin to act up after I cleaned the filter. I didn't over oil it. If anything there is less oil on it now than before. I pulled the IAC and it's clean. The TB is clean.
It only happens when the engine is cold in the morning and more predominantly when it's raining outside.
Any ideas?

Normal for the idle to be higher on a cold start. Where you buying your parts? You're getting ripped off.

normal cold idle is not 2500 rpm.
Parts quote was from Napa. Canadians do get ripped off for auto parts.
No vacuum leak. This morning it was normal. Might not be tomorrow. It's intermittant depending on how humid it is outside sometimes. It wasn't raining this morning.
