Default High idle after throttle body cleaning

Took it apart and cleaned the gummed up throttle body with a microfiber and throttle cleaner. Put it all back together, but It's now leaking coolant from one of the hoses on that throttle body I must've not tightened enough. Plus the idle is very high at about 1600 rpm. The sensor on top of the throttle body was replaced about 5 months ago. Along with the mass airflow sensor too.

First thing I'd check is the throttle cable routing to see if you've changed it enough to affect idle, and you could try adjusting it.

I had this happen when I did mine. The problem was that I forgot to connect the electrical plug on the bottom of the throttle body. Very dumb.
