Did some troubleshooting, when you start the car up its a high rev (high idle ), when I try to lower it, it wont go down. Everything that has to do with the fuel and idle on the top side of the engine I have taken off and cleaned, and still the idle is still high idle. Thank you

Could be air is getting past the throttle somewhere. Common leak paths include the carburetor and throttle body gaskets, carburetor insulator spacers, intake manifold gaskets, and of course, any of the engine's vacuum fittings, hoses and accessories. It is even possible that leaky O-rings around the fuel injectors are allowing air to leak past the seals. Another overlooked item can be a worn throttle shaft and a defective idle speed speed control motor/valve stuck in the extended (high idle speed) position/throttle position sensor. Also the throttle plate could be binding in its bore and kinked accelerator cable
