Default high idle depressing brakes.

So I had another post with different symptoms I have fixed those so far with the fluctuating idle. New symptom is maybe 4-6min of running the car getting it up to temp my idle RPM is 1kish give or take a few hundred. My brake peddle will gradually depress all the way to the floor. The only way I can get it back is to put on the e-brake.

What I have done recently, Disconnect all of my ABS harnesses along with fuse/relays since my ABS was not working.

Brake booster is fine I took off the hose checked the valve covered it with my finger still had the idle issue again!. I have no CEL could it be my TPS the up down idle started again, I have no vac leaks, coolant is completely bled. Could it be a tuning issue? I guess it wouldn't hurt to take it to me tuner...
