I have a question.

What exactly does the Idle Air Controller do? I went to replace it and after I did, when I accelerated the rpm's would not drop back down for at least 5 seconds. I have been told that this would be caused by a bad TPS switch, but I replaced that before I replaced the Idle Air. When I removed the old Idle Air Controller, it had oil inside. Is that normal?
