Default yay i finally got to start my hatch today

well like the title says, i started the hatch today...thanks to xencron for the chip. well first things first, he put a launch control setting on this chip so when i started it it had the same 3200 rpm rev limit as it did when i didnt have the mpfi swap done right, then i took it for a ride and it went away. so few, that was a little scary, well when i start it now it revs up to 3200 without me even hitting the gas, with the mpfi swap i switched the tps wires like it said, i just switched them back and forth a couple times again to see if i messed up but i didnt, what could this mean?? bad tps or...
and the best for last, i forgot to tighten the oil drain plug and it fell out, i left a nice about half mile long streak of oil down my road and into my drive, the first second i heard it knock i shut it off. and then the rest of the oil drained in my drive.

but what could be up with my high idle? any suggestion?

it might also be the idle screw located at the top of your TB.
