Help! High Idle Regardless of Engine Temp

So Ive been trying to figure out what is causing my high Idle in neutral. It used to only happen after the car got warmed up, where the engines revs to 3 or 4k rpm when not in gear (clutch in or in neutral). It also used to be somewhat intermittent (it would mysteriously go away).

After talking with a couple mechanics, I decided that my problem must be a sticking throttle cable. But I'm sorry to say that I just replaced it (got a used one for $30) and it did not fix the problem. Now it has a high idle when cold as well.

I think this seems like a sensor type problem.. My two guesses are IAC valve and TPS (brand new, but duralast brand). I tried turning the idle adjustment screw all the way in, and this did not change the idle at all - ~3k rpm, but I'm not sure if this proves anything.

Anyone have any suggestions??
This is really starting to piss me off b/c other wise my truck was finally running great
