I'm almost at a loss over here. My XJ needed a new head gasket. I replaced the gaskets water pump inlet tube hoses, and other small stuff. Went to start her and it flung straight to 2500+ RPM. I quickly shut it off and inspected. I've connected, disconnected the TPS MAPs and IAC. I had codes 505, 123 and 108. I replaced the TPS and MAP. Now I only have 123 which is TPS HIGH VOLTAGE. I can't figure this out. She runs to 2500 and doesn't want to come down. What could I be missing?

How would I adjust it? I took it out and cleaned it up with throttle body cleaner. Didn't replace, just out clean and in.
