idles really rough then stalls, after cleaning throttle body, help 700 1990

Hey bricksters!
Need some help. I thought today I would do some PM work on my 90 740ti brick.
I flushed the throttle body with carb and choke cleaner. I was quite liberal with the spray. I did not remove the body but, I did excersise the butterfly a couple of times. I did remove Idle valve to inspect and it seemed OK? It was slightly opened. I tested for resistance and it was 8 ohms and thats ok. Then I checked for any codes and their was none. Did reset anyways.

The engine when started runs like at 1500rpm for a few minutes then goes to 800ish. But when I rev the engine a few times it drops below regular idle and then stalls. Runs great when just driving along.
Thanks for any help.
It ran fine before I attempted this work.
