Default idle problem

well i just put on my pro products 75mm throttle body. now i have an idle problem at first i forgot to put back on my throttle sensors and once i put that back on it got better, but at a stop light it will still stall but if i am parked in my drive way and put it in drive it will be fine

could this a bad iac or is there something that the throttle body created
