crazy high idle after cleaning throttle body...HELP
about a week ago i cleaned my throttle body and ever since then my idle is really high between 2-3k. ive been reading through all kinds of topics that ive searched on h-t and yesterday i cleaned th IACV and still i have this high idle. if im coming to a red light and take the car out of gear the rpms will stay @ 2-3k if i blip the gas pedal they will fall and idle just like normal....its almost like the butterfly is sticking just a hair ....any suggestions....can i put any lubrication where the butterfly closes @.....any suggestions would be appreciated

It's not your cable then. I keep mine tight and it still doesn't idle that high. Is your IACV sealing properly? Did you get any significant amount of moisture in the connections? Any CELs?

Re: (Hardedge)
you see what i dont understand is that it worked perfectly before i cleaned the throttle body...i just wanted to clean out the carbon that had built up in there.....just some general maintenance on the car and now i have this problem

Re: (JustG)
I had a problem like that after my mini-me swap. my throttle body is off my stock d15b7 intake. i took it off and took off the 2 8mm bolts off the back of the throttle body. Theres a little plate on the back that the 2 bolts hold on. Inside is a little white peice that looks like a thermostat or something, i really dont know whats its called, but all i did is tighten it back together and my car idled fine.
