Question Idle High

I just have a quick question. My car has been idleing high since the beginning of the summer. Its been into the shop once, and they said it was the throttle body. They cleaned out the throttle body and my car idled fine for a month. After that month it started to idle high again. I unhooked the battery and connected it back up. It idled fine for a minute, then it started to idle high again. It constantly idles at 1800 in park, and 1300 in drive. This high idle is probably wearing my engine and transmission down. I'm getting tired of it idleing high. Do any of you have any suggestions to what it could be? The only thing i can think of is a vacume leak. Before i spend any more money at the shop, i should let them know what I think the problem is so they can check that specific problem out. Thanks for your help

check your TPS and your AIC, disconnect your batter, and close out those 2 sensors, and that should help.

AIC or Vacuum leak or a throttle cable not fully releasing, hold the throttle open some.
