Engine goes to idle RPM after revving to 3000
Hey guys, new to the forum here, hoping to get some help?
Yesterday I changed fitlers...an hour later I turned on the car and it would immediately die after starting.
I took it apart and cleaned everything (throttle, MAF...) with the carbon cleaner....now it'll turn on but when I rev the engine past 3000 it goes immediately back to idle.
I haven't tried to drive it yet but I'm not sure what the problem could be.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Are you pulling any CEL codes?
Sounds like when you clean the TB, it may have left some gunk around the flap causing the TPS to get a false reading.
Get a helper to press the accelerator pedal all the way down and make certain there is no slack or too tight at the throttle body cable connection. If slack/looseness, adjust until it is within spec.
If this does not fix it your TPS ( Throttle Position Sensor maybe defective ), hope not.
