HELP - High Idle after cleaning Throttle Body

[sundarpn]

2002 Camry XLE.

I cleaned my throttle body today. Since the throttle plate moves by a motor, in order to keep it open, I turned the key to ON and held the gas pedal down by using some weight.

After I put everything back, the idle was high 2000+, then stays at 1300 to 1400 range

I drove about 10 miles and it is still the same. When stopped at a light in drive, the idle is still 1000

Did I mess up the e-throttle or the throttle position sensor? (Since I used a weight to hold the gas pedal down, I am worried now)

Disconnecting the battery for 15 mins to reset the computer solved this. (this was mentioned in an older post) just writing it again so it get s better hits in the search

thx

I just experienced the same issue as you sundarpn, exact same issue.
