Dear friends
My Car now had a high idle around 1000-1100 RPM which used to be around 700-800. Anyway to fix it?

I have replaced most of engine parts as follows and checked no air leak.


MAF
Idle control valve
Crank sensor
Comshaft sensor
Pressure regulator
spark plug

regards
Kenya

Have you done anything to the accelerator cable? They do stick with age as spiral wind deteriorates - bit of lubrication and exercise might help. You can always adjust the turn screw stop if you can't find anything obvious.
