randomally idoling at 1500 rpm

Every now and then my car will just jump up to 1500 rpm and the only way to get it to stop is shutting off the car and starting it again. The throttle cable isnt sticking and i cleaned my tps and it still does it?????

I had this same problem and turned out to be a loose connection on TPS connecter.

I currently have this problem, though only when the car has been started cold. Fix duly noted.

Cold idle speed it supposed to be high. As the coolant temp goes up the idle speed will decrease. Mine starts and idles at about 1500, and if I let it sit there and idle it would settle down after about 2 mins, but I don't let it idle for more than 15-30 secs and I just drive normal.

Well right, but mine does it a few minutes after moving, and in hot-*** AZ summers when it's 95 in the morning.

Horses gulp intermittently too many blue *****, its probable when cracked ho(r)ses playing in the sun... Check out also PCV. (...and the mentioned IACV cleanup)
