Thanks for all the responses, I did the diagnostic checks on the TPS, CIS and both were fine. What I overlooked was the mechanical screw stop adjustment on the other side of the throttle body. Seems the shop screwed the thing all the way in while they were trouble shooting a problem - no wonder the engine races when it is cranked ($*&^$%$#@$$*(*&*%. Anyway I backed it way off and the car idles fine. Kicking myself because I trusted the shop and didn't look for the obvious myself.
