Engine surges while parked idleing. It will run up to 1800 and 2200 rpms, it does not come idle down to a normal idle speed. I have replace the TPS, EGR, IAC, Throttle body gasket,front O2 sensor, and several vaccum lines. This brought it down from a steady 4000 rpm to what it's doing now.

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak somewhere after the throttle body.

Certainly sounds like the o2 sensors have become contaminated and are not acting as fast as they used to , or are supposed to.

timing chains rattle at start up HEELP!!!! <<<<< This Will NOT Set A Code And WILL Cause EP Engine Performance Problems, If the Timing Chain DEVIATES More than 8 Degrees it is NO GOOD for OPTIMUM Engine performance.
The Fact that you have NO CODES Lieves DIAGNOSING it Fairly Simple. Morning Starts (COLD START) is a CLOSED LOOP Condition and by the time it warms up it closes LOOP and the ECM takes over the Timing, and compisates for the LOOSNESS of the Timing Chain by ADVANCING / RETARDING the Timing. thus Good Running when Warmed up. Hope & I Wish you Good Luck with it.

check the iac valve for power if not the ecm is bad or the wiring to the iac valve could be broken in the harness.this is got to be an iac valve issue.

How i clean the TPS sensor of a ford escape xls 2011 2,5 Lt l4 mecanic

it sounds like it's the idle air valve this controls the idle and drive rpm's when you step on the gas does it sometimes at idle go up & down by itself repeatedly? it could be something hitting the throttle and when you press down on the gas or shift it is knocked out lowering to normal idle/rpms, the tps is on the throttle body and is connected to the throttle lever and most likely right on the other side of the lever a little switch with a electrical plug on it search it so you can see what it looks like if you don't know already they are sealed and can not be cleaned you must replace it try checking with the car in park engine running and raise the idle by the throttle lever if it goes smooth up and down return to rpms that's not it if it races or sputters and then raises up that's it or it could be both units are blown out needing to be replaced

Did you clean or replace the iac valve?? If so,start inspecting all vacuum hoses & fittings,gaskets and components that operate off of vacuum.If you cant locate a leak visually, connect a 1' long piece of rubber hose to the valve on a small,handheld propane torch.Open the valve slightly so propane comes out,start the engine and let it idle then run the hose across all of the components listed above.If the engine idle surges upwards,the component you just passed over has a leak.
A defective tps can also cause a high or flucuating idle.

Testing

Check the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor circuit as follows:
Ignition OFF, disconnect the MAP harness connector at the MAP sensor.Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is less than 1 kPa.If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is greater than 126 kPa.If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.If all circuits test normal, test or replace the MAP sensor.

Check the Throttle Position (TP) sensor circuits as follows:
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the throttle body.Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.If greater than 5 ohms, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between 5-volt reference circuit terminal E and ground.If less than 4.8 volts, test 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open / high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.If greater than 5.2 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. Verify the scan tool TP sensor 1 voltage is less than 0.1 volt.If greater than 0.1 volt, test the signal circuit terminal D for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. Verify the scan tool TP sensor 2 voltage is greater than 4.8 volts.If less than 4.8 volts, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal D and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal E of the TP sensor 1. Verify the TP sensor 1 voltage is greater than 4.8 volts.If less than 4.8 volts, test the TP sensor 1 signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal F and the low reference circuit terminal C of the TP sensor 2. Verify that the TP sensor 2 voltage is less than 0.1 voltIf greater than 1.0 volt, test the TP sensor 2 signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, disconnect the harness connector at the ECM.Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance on all TP sensor circuits between the following terminals:ECM C2 signal circuit terminal 65 to TP terminal DECM C2 signal circuit terminal 63 to TP terminal FECM C2 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 to terminal E If greater than 5 ohms, repair the affected circuit for open/high resistance.Test for infinite resistance between TP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal D and TP sensor signal circuit terminal F.If less than infinite resistance, repair the short between TP sensor 1 signal circuit and TP sensor 2 signal circuit. If all circuits test normal, replace the throttle body.

Throttle Body Relearn Procedure
NOTE
Do NOT perform this procedure if DTCs are set.

Start and idle the engine in PARK for 3 minutes.With a scan tool, monitor desired and actual RPM.The ECM will start to learn the new idle cells and Desired RPM should start to decrease.Ignition OFF for 60 seconds.Start and idle the engine in PARK for 3 minutes.After the 3 minute run time the engine should be idling normal.
NOTE
During the drive cycle the check engine light may come on with idle speed DTCs. If idle speed codes are set, clear codes so the ECM can continue to learn.

If the engine idle speed has not been learned the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above 70 km/h (44 mph) with several decelerations and extended idles.
After the drive cycle, the engine should be idling normally.

If the engine idle speed has not been learned, turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds and repeat step 6.Once the engine speed has returned to normal, clear DTCs.

Idle surges up and down on 1984 cadillac coupe deville

I A C motor small part on throttle body ,controls idle mixture when they fail at idle the engine "hunts" for proper air/fuel mixture . when defective it causes o2 sensors and TPS to compete to set an idle thus the up n down effect.. auto wreckers if your broke new from your local parts store....dealer to much 1 plug in two bolts for most applications

Dodge ram 1500 engine rpms surge at freeway speed

those sensors could cause the issue, clean the MAF 1st, also clean the idle system using the following procedure, the IAC can cause cruise surge. I use this to cure these problems all the time.

Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls and low idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve (IAC) and throttle valve, they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
