Throttle body cleaning causes idle issues (2001 Honda Accord)?

I just cleaned the throttle body with a tb/intake cleaner spray. Put everything back together. When i start the car is goes up to 1500rpm, then idles at 750rpm. Then it slowly goes down a couple hundred rpms, till the radiator fans are off for about 20 seconds. Then the fans come back and the revs jumps back up. This keeps happening over and over while the car is running.

Anybody know what i can do?

I ended up completely replacing the throttle body in my trailblazer for similar issues (and cleaning the maf sensors). It was better but still ran rough. Discovered that the problem was 2 bad coil packs.

You have a vacuum leak, look very closely under the intake hoses for any smaller hoses that may have pulled off.

  • 2001 Honda CRV Throttle Body? 2001 Honda check engine light and scanner reads bad TPS, i replaced it still does the same car shifts 1st gear at 4000rpm. Fuel system cleaner took away the problem for a month but came back. So throttle body and sensors keep getting dirty. What is making it dirty?
  • Buying a throttle body for my 1998 Honda Civic DX? I need to buy a throttle body for my 1998 Honda Civic DX. My mechanic said it would be cheaper if I bought the part and they installed it for me. My question is: what should I be looking for online to find a reliable place to buy one? And does it matter if my car is a automatic or standard transmission? It's a standard shift, by the way.
  • Are brake cleaning services necessary for newer cars? I have a Honda Civic 2016 When and how much? I've NEVER done brake cleaning before but they were trying to give me a "brake service" for like $130 for my Honda Civic 2016. Is that even necessary ever and and isn't there just spray for that and which one should I use?
  • 2001 Honda Civic EX Coupe CD PLAYER ISSUES? I have couple of CD's at home that I play in my Civic but recently i burned some and they won't play in my car, like if you buy them from outside they work. But when I burn a CD myself it doesn't work. But in my dads car (Caravan) the CD's work… is there any specific format i need to change the songs to?
