Idling issue

So I decided to clean my throttle body .. I bought a can of throttle body cleaner and removed my intake hose .. and turn the throttle plate and sprayed the cleaner in and then wiped the dirt and fluid and used a toothbrush to get a further reach ... After some rigirous cleaning I replaced all the parts and started the engine. No problem but when I took the car for a spin. I realized when the car was idling the rpm jumps from 500 to 1500. It bounces. The car drives fine.

Before cleaning the throttle body the idle was at 700 consistently.

So what do you guys think? Solutions ?

Try cleaning your Idle Air Control Valve. Those things tend to be very touchy.

I didn't touch any vaccum lines .. only thing i did was remove the intake hose and the small hose that runs from the intake hose and to the engine ...

To the best of my knowledge I tightened everthing according .. i will double check..
I cleaned the silicon couplers could that have worn the silicon out thereby causing it not to seal probably?

When I am checking the throttle position sensor or map sensor what am I looking for ?
