Sometimes at start up of Engine at least 50% of the time. The Engine Idle speed at start up is 2000 RPM or a little above.
If you turn the ignition off and restart it will be at the normal Idle of around 1500 RPM
I have changed the Idle positioning sensor twice, still have the same problem

I feel there is a problem with the throttle position sensor, but I can't be sure without a trouble code.

Joe; The Service Engine light is not on. Put tester on and can't get any codes at all. In my original post I said I replaced the Idle positioning sensor twice. I meant I replaced the Throttle positioning twice. It still does the same thing.
