Did you clean the carbon out of the rest the throttle body? I know these engines well. I suggest taking the throttle body off, removing the IAC (idle air control valve), TPS (throttle position sensor), and all other sensors. Soak the throttle body in cleaner and remove all carbon. Buy a new throttle position sensor and throttle body gasket. If you still have problems, I would have a certified technician perform a ’smoke’ test to look for any more leaks that may be causing the rough idling issue. Valve cover gaskets were also notorious for causing this issue.
