Engine Problems
Ok so i messed up my engine a bit today. i took the throttle body off to clean it, it was soooo dirty. so i cleaned it, put everything back together. and now it sounds like a lawnmower and when i give it gas, it staggers a bit then starts to sound like an old lawnmower. and at one point i pushed the throttle a bit to like 3000 rpm, and it got stuck there! i turned the car off cuz it just wouldnt go down.
i checked all the vacuum lines 5 times already, and all are in. all the sensors are connected. i dont know what it could be. i really need to get the car fixed today, so any answers would really help, even if your not sure. cuz tomorrow im taking it to get a gte swap, and i need to be able to get it there.
UPDATE: Now when i turn the car on this very strong smell comes out and the car starts to go to 3000 rpm then to 2000 then back to 3000. its doin some crazy stuff. the smell thats coming out is almost like roach killer, but not as strong. if all else fails ill just get it towed

there is some left over seafoam in the tank, could that be a reason? but then why the high 3000 idle?
i was quoted at 90 for towing, the cheapest i could find compared to 180...so i think ill just get it towed unless someone has an idea.

you mean tps? the cps is the one on the left front side of the head on a 7m and wouldn't have much to do with this anyway, I would check the tps as well as the throttle cable and linkage.
