throttlebody cleaning gone wrong
so i just ended cleaning up my throttleody,
i5 h3
put everything back and fired it up
everything is fine idles at 750rpm when i give it a tiny bit of gas it'll go to ~1200 rpm and stay there(fully warmed up )
will not drop back untill engine is killed
when in drive it starts at 750 rpm and moves slowly like usual when giving tiny amount of gas it'll accelrrate by itself not dangerously but not comfortable either to around 30 kmh with no gas !! when i brake and get it to stopit'll stpp doing that
now what iam,afraid off is that i left hose unattached
i didn't take any pictures
only hose that i encounter is the fat hose on top of the ngine in the middle near coils under that huge box which happens to be full of oil at least 10 drops when i removed the box
sure i reconnected the tb cable and tb hose
i removed pipes and hoses just after the airfilter where air comes filtered
i hope i make sense, thanks for reading

ucan see the hole and the pipe connected to that box
this is the only pipe i encounter( after the two ducts for sure)
did i miss anything?
things to note
i didn't disconnect the battery
drove it ~ 50kms after cleaning got to normal temperature
ran ac
shifted through park to drives
stopped every often
restarted many times
ran all accessories and ac and every electrical load
if it's just idle relearn not something that i messed up, how long does it take?
thanks
Make sure the cai is properly secured. Pull the tbi connector and reconnect, check and make sure the vacuum line is secured:

Start and let idle for a few minutes. Shutdown engine for a few seconds. Restart and let idle, until idle is at 650rpm's. DO NOT DEPRESS ACCELERATOR. GL

Thanks hummerz, really appreciate your replay
i did break a bit of the vacuum line plastic pin(i realy didn't know how to unsecure it)
are u,supposed to twist the plastic tap or insert something to pull or just press it on both sides?
the tb connector is connected perfectly the security pin is working for now(it's only to prevent accidental removal of the connector right,? my other measure the black plastic button that holds the connection
eitherway, i disconnected the battery, will let it set overnight will reconnect the tb connector just b4 reeconnecting the battery
and will update the situation
btw, i do have generic elm327 obd2 reader, can this help me erease anythig for now( got cel,just after cleaning)

the car idles at 750 rpm
if given gas it'll go to say 1200 rpm all in neutral
i didn't try to shift to drive so i restart it and shift
if in drive it'll stay at 750rpm too and drive slowly, tap the gas once and it'll accelerate on it's own to 2000rpm and shift1-2-3 and goes to 30kph i can slow down but it's like the engine is dragging untill i get to very low speed and it'll be fine again
it kinda do the same thing in reverse but less dramatical ;(
one more thing to mention, i did spray inside the vacuum inlet i did get the cleaner stick inside is there any sensors inside??? (is the vacuum tubing for idle, sort like IAC,)
Thanks

UPDATE; REINSTALLED BATTERY CEL gone smooth as butter it's probably still relearning
shifts are now smooth, compared to earlier( crisp,fast jerky)
comming over speedbump hesitation is gone no more slipping fealing at slow speeds
i can gurrantee that there is nothing out of my mind earlier i saw people experiencing smoother shifts after tb cleaning and i did really feal difference
try it out
thanks
