You should have waited a lil bit. The throttle body clean and idle relearn could have been done by you by about 7 dollar can of cleaner and info posted here. I had previously posted how to clean the throttle body and how to read your codes with a free app and cheap elm327 dongle that cost around 12 dollars. Now, the important thing for you is to know if the mechanic that cleaned your throttle body just cleaned with a can of spray with the throttle on the car from one side only, instead of removing the TB to clean it from both sides. If he did not removed it, then your problem might come back in a few months. He should have removed it and carefully clean it on both sides. This specific problem was not going to leave you stranded on the middle of the road. Buy the code reader dongle and get the free app or better yet buy the whole app and cable(60 dollars) and you will be able to read your codes instead of going to the dealer. Your first use will pay for itself. If your throttle was this dirty , you should check your vacuum system and make sure there is no sludge in your engine. Seafoam is a good treatment to do by yourself before changing the oil and then going full synthetic. Just something to consider in the future.
