Default Idle issues...

No I don't need a big brother... A little while ago I was having idle issues and found the cure was to clean the throttle body out. Last night my throttle would dive while driving almost causing me to stall the bounce around.All the bouncing is the car itself I revved it other than that it bouncing from 100-1500k is all itself! 1st Video. So today I broke down and cleaned my throttle body hence why i did the how-to and after was all said and done it was idling fine but i don't know hot to describe as hanging watch video 2 to see what I mean, I checked multiple times and I'm not throwing any codes since I cleared after the cleaning...

I did before I cleaned the Throttle Body and now is fine. just now the weird lag witch doesn't really seem to effect anything. TO do the cleaning only took me about 20 mins!

I saw the second video. I don't think that's normal. I guess try resetting the car (you do have radio code right?) and then take a drive for several miles and see if any code comes on. It usually takes a little while for the engine to recognize if anything is not working properly.

Well I'm thinking maybe it just needed drove a little after the cleaning! Everything is smooth as an 18yr olds ***! Might just be me but seems to be a lil' more spunky and responsive!

Well last night, I pulled the MAF and cleaned it and changed the air filter. Still the same. Anyone got any ideas? Codes I got before MAF cleaning P0137 and P1127...
