Start with checking the IAC (idle air control) and make sure it's not stuck open.

replaced both iac and tps sensor idle came down to about 1750 at park and 1050 in drive, could it be vehicle speed sensor?

I don't think it would be the speed sensor, that would possibly effect the shifting but not the idle.
I say it a lot on this forum, but when you removed and replaced the tps, did you check and adjust the voltage signal?
