Did you just unplug them or remove them completely? I think the are the TPS and IAC! I will have to look them up in my book!

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

TPS adjustment is hand in hand with throttle plate adjustment on these cars. IAC is controlled by a stepper motor on these models. Cleanliness of the plunger tip is important for consistent idle quality.

i just unplugged them from the throttle body i didnt take the hole component off of the throttle body

also did some research after the fact and came across a site http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...le_Bodies.aspx

it says in this not to 'disturb' these

and will try the removing the negative will post with outcome
thank you

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.
