i drive a 92 ka24de hatchback..just got an oil change yesterday, fuel filter got changed also. started car this morning and my car is idling at like 3 k and its loud. If i let it sit, it wont go down and when i rev it, it will go up and come down very slow. when i turn the car off, right when it is about to shut off its like it stalls. any suggestions would be very appreciated. also the notorious chain rattle..with the top guide removed ..

It's under intake manifold. Unplug TPS sensor, set idle and plug back in. Idle should go up slightly once plugged.
