1) Did you replace the O2 sensor?
2) Check the throttle closed microswitch, the black thingy on the throttle
body. As the throttle closes you should hear the switch click. If there is
not a click the ECU does not know that the throttle is closed so it continues
to feed fuel. If you have the throttle idle speed screw turned in too much
the switch will not close.
3) Check carefully for vacuum leaks.
4) If all else fails tap into the O2 sensor lead with a DVM and as you drive
verify that the O2 reading are switching around 0.45v and that when you close
the throttle that the readings go full lean.
