Hi,

Have you checked that you haven't over-tightened and cracked the idle control valve? Try taking it all the way out and inspect it. If by taking it out and blocking the hole you can get the idle to drop it would suggest that your problems are around here somewhere. I did a similar thing to a Saab once.

Regards
