Sorry my book is from '98-04' did you try putting them back in? I know some car's have adjustable TPS I don't think the IAC will matter you can disconnect the negative battery terminal for about 2 min and try that

That should help, it resets the engine controller's adaptive memory to zero and wipes any history of a TPS or IAC swing.

The article mentions not to disturb the wires but, if you have the key off or battery disconnected, this won't be an issue. Also, the article doesn't mention how throttle bodies on LH vehicles generally face backwards so cleaning effectively might require removing it completely, plugs and all.
