High idling

I have a 1995 f150 with a 351 windsor that idols at around 2500-3000 rpms and ive replaced the egr valve and the high idling sensor and it still didnt fix the problem. I dont know what else to even look for. Anyone else had the same problem and fixed it?

Check all over for vacuum leaks. A big one could raise the RPM that much. Someone here last week reported finding a leaky intake gasket on his truck that was very similar year and engine to yours.

Actually i took it to the shop and it ended up being the ECM (electronic control module). Its on the left fenderwell and the guy said after a while the water from the wheel gets in there and ends up tearing it up so i hope it helped.
