Sounds like:

- Car is stuck in ALDL mode (forces idle to be 1000). Check with a scan tool.
- IAC is totally whacked. Reset according to procedures on the web site
- TPS is whacked. Reset according to procedures on the web site (good to do in conjunction with IAC)
- Large vacuum leak upstream of the Throttle Body (bleeding air around the IAC). Check all vacuum lines/connections. A good way is to spray carb cleaner (CAREFULLY!) around all of them and see if idle changes....
