I got a 89 grand prix 2.8l put a new TPS on it and the book says with the throttle closed put on TPS and rotate counterclockwise and i did that and the eng idles at 2.000 RPMs do i need to ajust it to lower the idle if so what way and how?

Were you having idle problem before you swapped the TPS?

Can you rev the engine? If so the TPS should be on right and you may have problems else where causing high idle. The idle is not adjustable the computer contols that electronically using input from various sensors.

You've cleaned the throttle body I assume? Maybe the injectors are dirty or maybe one or more are faulty. How about replacing the fuel and air filter. It could be the coils to I suppose???
