Angry 1997 cobra idle problem

hey guys....I am new to the site and was wondering if anyone could help me out with an idle problem that just began. I recently just took my cold air filter assembly off because i was having a throttle response problem. I was unable to have any luck with that, but to make things worse...the car now idles at 2000 rpm! I am currently trying to reset the idle, but i doubt that i will have any luck. My dad has been a mechanic all his life and I asked him, he seems to think that it may be a coolant temp sensor, or a vaccum leak or, maybe the throttle position sensor. At worse I guess I will have to take it to Ford and pay out who knows how much, but any suggestions that may be helpful for me to try would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

+1 As HM said, is it popping out any codes?

That'd be your first place to start.

Hiya, welcome to the site. Check out both the 4.6 and the SVT Cobra sections, you'll get tech answers in there.
