i just had to take it to the shop due to check eng. light on they replaced the plugs and wires and cleaned the throttle body ever since then when engine is hot if i try to shift into N or P the RPMS start to surge up to3-4 thousand even when i shift back into gear the idle is still way to high if i try to hit the gas quick as if the choke was stuck it wont drop back down it just revs higher untill i shift again and then just shut it off any ideas ??

Is the check engine light on? Have you checked for vacuum leaks?

Let me know.
