New high idle problem after fixing CTS (and everything else). 200 1989

After changing my coolant temp sensor (and a lot of other things) I had an error code for a faulty coolant temp sensor. I drove around with it for a week like that before I finally got back in there and found a wiring issue with the plug to that sensor. During that week no other codes showed up. Yesterday I found the fault in the wiring, fixed it, and the CTS error code went away. Everything was reading 1-1-1.

Today, I drove down the street and the car started stumbling and hesitating. I checked the codes and now was showing a code for "compensating for rich/lean mixture at idle," 2-3-2. I found that I had forgotten to re-install a hose clamp to the AMM and the hose had come disconnected and was basically in "stumble home mode". Reconnected the hose and cleared the codes. Drove home like butter.

Later I decided to go back and get another smog check. Drove fine to the station, but before the test I checked the codes and there it was again, 2-3-2. I cleared the codes, drove home and checked again, no code. Had some lunch, drove back to the smog check station, checked the codes, there it was again!

The car is idling high when I put it in park (no tach). But other than that it seems to run great. I checked the vacuum hose to the FPR and it smells slightly of gasoline, but not like it was full of gas.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Ryan
