yes, if all you did is clean the throttle body...it should work itself out within 2-4 min.

Try reseting your ECU. pull the backup fuse or disconnect the battery (-) terminal for 30 seconds.

If you are still having the idle surge problem after resetting your ECU. You should check for vacuum leaks and cleaning your IACV & FITV.

Have you checked all the vacuum lines? Also the IACV could be the cause.
