High idle because no TPS

My car idles at 1500 n 2000 because my ecu does not read the tps signal is it a way i can idle my car down to about 750-100 without using the TPS?

The TPS is not part of the emissions system. You need it. Driving without out one means poor mileage, hesitations and a lot less driveability. I find it hard to believe that the ECU has anything to do with the issue. It's more likely that your TPS is not adjusted properly: http://howto.globalvicinity.com/gv_w...i=58&co=1&vi=1.

Your problem may be is a Hose of vaccun can be broken, These hose become hardened and break by the heat that generates the egine or oil. Another cause can be the sensor of the air conditioned , Often remain open and causes to that problem,
Another cause, It verifies that the accelerator cable is not very tense, and avoids the backward movement of throtter.
