Did you take off the TB and clean it with a rag and TB cleaner, if so you might have plugged one of the holes that the vacuum lines run into. Some of the holes are very small.

I cleaned the my TB and plugged up the holes and the my car ran like cr**.

Try spraying the TB cleaner into the hard lines the vacuum lines that run into the TB and make sure they are clear.

I hope this helps

You did make sure to plug the airflow sensor back in when you put the piping back on didnt you? I forgot to and my car did the same thing.

yea the air flow sensor wire is plugged in proper, i never had to take the wiring out , but anyways i'll see for couple more days if it adjusts by itself, if not i am going to take the whole throttle body out and clean it out real good and see where it goes from there, but the car feels alot more responsive now

i was in the same situation as you when i cleaned my TB. when i was done cleaning it i started it up and the idle was high so i let it warm up and the idle was still high, i tried resetting the ecu, that didnt help me, so since i didnt know what to do i just left it like that and now my idle went back to normal.
