Default B18c idling too low, fitv too tight or idle screw adjustment?

At first I had major idling problems, with it up at 3500.
I cleaned the iacv and fitv and tightened the piece inside the fitv and also adjusted the idle screw so it'll idle lower
Now the car is idling at around 900 when warm but it doesn't sound normal, it's just like bogged down. Don't really know how to explain it. It just seems like I turned the volume down on the car and now it has a completely different tone to it. It sounds completely different, and in between shifts is different to.
The second I start letting off clutch, the car starts shaking cus I'm not giving it enough gas. I know I forgot how to drive it at a normal rpm level, but I do remember it never being like this lol.
Is this from tightening the fitv too much or the idle screw??
