I have a 2001 4 cylinder Accord, and after cleaning the throttle body the car won't accelerate without stalling.

I can rev up to 2K before is bogs down and stalls, The car starts up a bit rough as well, I know that Honda's rev a little higher during a cold start, but mine doesn't. After idling for a minute it smooths out, but the stalling issue continues when trying to accelerate.

Any help is welcome, thanks.

When was the last time you tune up? OR recent work done on the car? This could be a lot of different things. Any more info?

I recently did a tun up and throttle body cleaning, I have a feeling it could be the filter.

If you're say its the air filter then it's not. I just did the same thing on my 96 accord, cleaned the throttle body and installed a spacer. Did you do the job you're self? If so did you take off the linkage and did you disconnect the two wires that connect to the throttle body?

If you did the above, maybe you switched the two wires or you need to re-adjust the linkage. That or the worst part is you could have accidentally sprayed the cleaner into the actual block which it's feeding it into the engine

I did the cleaning today 1-6-13 and after putting it all back together, the car won't accelerate, i may have sprayed cleaner into the intake manifold but ran the car at idle for about 30 mins, i would think that the cleaner would burn off. i checked my spark plugs and they are VERY black. Did anyone find a solution?

yes it would be burned off ..when you cleaned your throttle body,did you take it off the car? replace the gasket?like oblivion said above mix-matched a couple connectors? throttle position sensor damaged from cleaning?.its very easy to mix p connectors on these cars..i have done it
