My guess is the throttle body will need cleaning out.

sounds like an air leak

What sensor have you cleaned? My guess is its more than likely an air leak. IF youve got a vacuum gauge watch what it is doing/reads at idle, it will tell you a lot.

Should be nearer the 20psi mark really, does the gauge sit steady or is it all over the shop?
