High RPM Idle

i took my fd for a ride, i kinda stepped on it, didnot really actually full throttle it or came close to redline..but after the ride my car started idling kinda high...it gets stuck at 2000 rpm and won't come down...and when i try to give some gas it comes down a bit and then again gets up to 1700-2000 rpm...i am guessing its a vaccum leak some where but can't figure it out...
My MODS are
Peter farrell ECU
3' DP
stock cat
3" catback exhaust
PEter farrell SMIC
HKS dual intake

ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED>>THANX

You have a vacuum leak.

Take off the UIM and start looking.

Try tightening the idle control screw.

I would check for a vaccum leak first. No need to make adjustments that dont need to be done. Oh another thing did you install anything or adjust anything under the hood lately?

The UIM is the "Upper Intake Manifold".

If you don't have a manual yet, download one from here: http://www.iluvmyrx7.com/

To check for vaccum leaks spray carb cleaner around the TB, UIM, and that general area. (with the car running) IF you hear the idle change there is your leak.
