Without knowing the spec of your car/pickup how can we give any sound advice?
is it standard, modded on mfi, has a DV, has indo management, just give a breif description of what you have as it could be a simple case of adjusting the idle on the throttle body.

remove the tps plug and the metering plug and then reset the idle it should go down.
once you find the correct idle replug the 2 back and it should be fine.
