1.5k idle

I ran a search for this but couldn't find any answers. About 2 weeks ago my car started idling at 1500rpms. That seems really high to me, so I got a full tune up (transmission flush, new plugs, new O2 sensors, new coil packs, new injectors, and I cleaned my throttle body) but it's still idling at 1500 rpms. What else should I check before taking it into the shop?

Usually when its cold and the car is not up to temp, itll idle a little high. Let the car warm up and let it sit a few min and check your idle. I suggest cleaning your IACV valve and/or adjusting the idle screw if necesary.

This happened to me to. I replaced the O2 sensors and it was still sorta weird. I then reset the ECU and it fixed the problem.
