I got the ECM new from advance auto parts. I had taken the car to a repair shop to have the system analized, they told me it was a ECM problem. Yes I did swap out the Mem-Cal when I replaced the ECM.
Any ideas for troubleshooting the idle problem?
A guy at work mentioned an IAC motor, any ideas?

If the PCM is working fine and its not a ghost code then its possible the TPS could still be a problem. I played with mine and got it to idle at ~2k without much adjustment. You gotta remember, its the only way the computer knows if you're pressing the gas in park, for all it knows you have your foot on the acclerator when you start it. If you have a voltmeter you can test it real quick. Punch the very tip of a needle into the TPS wire closest to the TB opening. If I remember correctly with the key on engine off you should read ~5v there. IIRC it should read ~.3 on the next wire over.
Can you keep it in overdrive?
Does it downshift with relatively little movement of the gas pedal?

With foor off gas and key on the middle wire of the TPS should read .38-.42 v (less than a half volt) to ground. At wide open throttle it should read in excess of 4.2 volts.
My experience with very high idle (over 2k rpm) has been more likely a throttle plate that does not close all of the way (mechanical problem, not electrical). For that matter a gummed up IAC (can also cause but usually limited to about 1200-1500 rpm) can contribute and if both are sticky...
