I dont think you should be idleing that high, you should be at 700-800. I would suggest reseting the ecu. and if that doesnt work try the butterfly..
thats really all I know to do.

Are you waiting for the engine to reach normal operating temp? Cuz it usually idles a little higher to the engine can heat up quicker then the rpms go down once the cooling fan comes on.

if that doesn`t work,,, maybe while you were cleaning you touched the small screw that adjusts the low range idle...so it`s suctioning parasite air.. it`s located under the map sensor... yeah in that area.. it should have some grey silicone on it too...... maybe that will help..
