Default problem after cleaning IACV and FITV

ok so i was having the hunting idle problem so i searched and found fixes, one was to clean the IACV and the other was to take off the FITV and screw the little white thing in and then clean it as well. so first i took off the IACV and cleaned it with carb cleaner. then i put it back on and idle was still hunting so i took off the FITV and found the white thing wasnt even screwed in, so i screwed it in and cleaned it with carb cleaner. i dont think it dried all the way because when i put it back on the car idled correctly but it would sputters when i give it gas and shakes. it drives and if i keep constant pressure on the gas pedal then it is fine but when i open the throttle more it sputters and shakes. My dad said when the carb cleaner that got inside dries it should fix. my brother in law said to add an oil additive. do any of those sound like it will fix the problem or does anyone else have an idea ? TIA

I had the same experience, just let it run, or open your radiator cap to remove bubbles inside the cooling system. mine went away eventually maybe because the wd40 evaporated. However, I still have problems with my engine choking up when I stop at brakes.
