Default 3000 rpm after starting

Start the car up and it stays at 3000 rpms. Started 3 weeks ago let the car warm up and it stays at high rpm. Just replaced clutch did a tune up, rr wheel hub, oil change, fuel filter change, new radiator, new oil pressure sensor, new battery. It was sitting for a year don't know if the old gas has anything to do with it has had 3/4 of a full tank the whole year it sat. Id start it at least 2x a month throughout the year it sat. Did a scan on it today when I got it back only code is P0101. Had no hose leaks when clutch was replaced had them check. Any suggestions? Thanks guys.

Ported throttle body, some porters go to far and cause this problem.

The op doesn't state that he had the throttle body ported, the code is related to the MAF sensor, and or a possible air leak.

Does the p101 code really have anything to do with the high idle, I had that problem after I installed the Vararam, not the high idle, but the P101 code. All the VR connections need to be really tight or you get an air leak.
