High Idle all the time

I have a 5 speed, 4.6 liter f150. When I drive it, it stays at what I was driving at like 2000 rpm. When I come to a stop it eventually comes down to almost normal. I have replaced both the IAC and the TPS. My next step is to replace the connectors any better ideas? Need ideas thanks.

Do a check of the cruise control that might be causing the hang up of the throttle.
This is a bad situation in event of a panic stop, having the motor driving that hard with little reaction time.
Find the problem or don't run the truck until it's solved for safety..

If you have to drive it, when braking, take it out of drive. It will stop a whole lot easier.

Any other ideas, the truck is a manual and no cruise?

Check for vacuum leaks....Unmetered air entering the Intake causes high idles.
