the outside temp was about 60 and no matter if the car is warm or cold it
still starts out with high rpm,s and runs high throughout the duration about 4 months ago i had the misfire code i changed all the plugs and wires it fixed the problem and then about a month ago both codes showed up. the car has 75000 miles. i was wondering are they somehow tied together |

Coolant temperature sensor? If engine thinks it is cold, idle kicks up and
mixture is richened up. Bet your plugs are black from the rich condition.

Not sure of the year or model, but on some there are two different coolant
temperature sensors. One goes to the gauge and the other to the computer. The one that you need to check is the latter. You indicate you changed the CTS, but was it the correct one? Sorry if this does not apply to your year or model, but from your description it does sound like the CTS.
