Need to know what it is. Twist throttle, must be bike.
Throttle Position Sensor is what I would check on car or bike if high idle not working.

On a cold start i have no high idle for warm up

coolant temp sensor and intake air temp sensor would be the next to check.intake air temp sensor is in the air intake tunnel between TB air air box. when running is there a DTC? by disconnecting the coolant temp sensor you put the ecm values at default try that if it corrects your issue replace it.(it will turn your check engine light on but you can clear later by disconnecting battery)

High idle o n a 1996 chrysler concorde. have change the tps and the idle air control valve. i think its a vacum line but i dont know which one. which one s effect the idle

High idle is usually caused by a vacume leak. First place to check is the cold air intake manifold. All hoses, throttle body, and sensors. Throttle Position(TPS), Mass Airflow(MAS), Idle Air Control Motor (valve) IAC. Controls Idle speed

A malfunctioning throttle system can cause both a high idle as well as an engine stall.

A dirty air intake or cracked air intake tube is often the culprit.

COULD THE AIR INTAKE CENSOR KEEP MY CAR FROM SATARTING

No The air temp sensor will not keep it from starting, if its bad or even unplugged the computer will see it as 32 degrees and all it will do is command more fuel (rich) to help start thinking its cold outside. even with this being the case it will still start, might not idle or run great but it will run...

I replaced the timing belt now the car has a very high idlewhy

Its most likely a vacuum leak or the throttle needs to be adjusted. Check that there is a small amount of play in the throttle cable between the bracket on the back of the intake manifold and throttle body. If there isn't, the throttle body may not be closing all the way.

Other possible causes:

The coolant temp. sensor is giving an incorrect reading. When the sensor reads a low coolant temp., like when you first start the car and the engine is cold, your idle will be high. As the engine warms up to operating temp (about 200 F) the idle speed will decrease. Idle speed should be around 750 rpm when the car is fully warmed (800-850rpms fully warmed with a/c on).

The idle air control motor may be stuck open.

Make sure the coolant temp. sensor is connected.

Bad coolant temp. sensor?

Coolant temp. sensor is ground out on the engine block?

========
The ECU use the resistor value from the coolant temp. senor to determine the block temp.

If the value is out of range.....the ECU will "think" the motor is still cold and let it ran at high idle.

I will use a carburetor cleaner to clean out the throttle plate and intake.

Not reving high on cold start

Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls and low idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve (IAC for short), they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake
