Here's what's happening and what I did to get here.

- I removed air mass sensor
- Took of all the plastic parts that lead to the throttle butterfly
- I used a rag and throttle cleaner to clean the butterfly (it was very dirty/oily)
- Put everything back making sure all wires and hoses where connected again.

Now when I start the car the rpm's goes to about 2000 and sticks till I turn off the car? Sometimes this does not happen but most of the time it does and it's very annoying.

What did I do wrong and any ideas what to do to fix this?

Thanks In Advance.

You could have killed the MAF. Did you touch any element inside?

R.I.P. MAF. He was a good fellow...

Does the engine respond at all to the throttle? Was the throttle body really dirty?
Make sure the crankcase vent hose to the air duct just before the throttle is connected.

Try turning the ignition on without starting it and leave it for 2-3mins. turn off, wait 1 min then start it, this relearns the closed position of the throttle as it'll be different now that it's clean.

That helped greatly! Now its just raising very very little than goes down to normal rpm.
Btw guys, the maf is fine and the response AFTER i cleaned the throttle is really great.

Thanks for the help!

You never mess with the MAF you buy a new one when it is going out.

I'm not sure what you mean by sticks at 2000rpm. Is the car drivable? Or it doesn't respond at all to throttle input? If that's the case it sounds like what happened to me after I removed and cleaned by throttle body and the remedy in my case was a new tb!

If I read this properly, the problem has been corrected. However, when the problem active, I think he meant the engine was idling at 2000 RPM. I can’t say for the OP, but I wouldn’t drive my car if it idled at 2000. The hammering of motor mounts while dropping the shifter from park to drive, ditto the Flex Discs, the overheating of fluid while sitting at a light and who knows what type of internal transmission damage are all too much for me to consider.
