Default XJ engine trying to launch into space

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?

Did you replace the IAC? If so you need to adjust it before you put it in otherwise it'll do that. You may be way ahead of me there but that's the the only thing from off the top of my head.

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.

Double check the TPS was installed correctly. I don't believe the IAC is adjustable.
