Default Fixed My Idle?!....

Well I was having some idle and low rpm while driving issues (shaking and whatnot, when my idle was jumping around). At first it would start drop to like 200rpm's then go up, drop again then go back up then drop then go back up and stay...then as I was driving it would start to get erratic or idle way up. Well I sprayed some Throttle Body Cleaner in the IAC (soaked it lol) and into the Throttle Body...started 'er up and she went right to 900rpm's, no bog. I haven't taken it out yet, but i've started it like 3 times and it goes right to idle...revved it up and came right back down. Hopefully she's fixed, i'll take it out for a test drive tomorrow!

No MAF! I really should put what I ride into a SIG.
