do you not have a haines manual. the two that are hardest to set are the idle cam screws they are controlled buy engine temp and if not set right when you turn the car on it will cause them to idle really high at first. when the car is warmed up completely they are right below the black tube that bypasses the throttle body. the one on the actual throttle body is for small adjustment of the idle this is the last screw you will touch. the other to the right is for the tps my guess is that you adjusted this and everything went all wacky. search on the forum for tps adjustment and you will find a few things that you can hook up to it so that you can get precise settings on it hope this helps

there is some led thing that you can hook up to the violet plug is at that shows you when you get the tps set right. look for some of my old posts about tps adjustment one of the guys put it on there to help me out when i did the swap the first time. it started off as just the gslse swap was going to do the rear end and everything but ive had to change that due to a popped rotor.

The FSM shows how to adjust the idle, fast idle, mixture and TPS. Have you downloaded this manual already? You specifically want section 4B for the GSLSE fuel system.
