Cleaned Throttle Body now RPMs low, please help!

I'm sure it has something to do with cleaning the throttle body because I replaced the MAF thinking that was the issue. I reset the ECU and did the throttle reposition which only served to bring the high idle down. While driving the RPMs take a noticeable dip when you let off the gas, and when you are in traffic or stopped and idling the AC stops working but as soon as the RPMs pick back up the AC kicks back on. Also when in traffic or idling the outside temperature indicator takes a big jump up when it didn't before. My plan was to just replace the throttle body but wanted to ask if ya'll have encountered this before and what I should be looking for. I guess it could be a vacuum leak because there is a whistle at idle, or it could be the MAF pigtail.
When cleaning I used MAF cleaner and did not remove the throttle body because one of the allen head bolts was oxidized (I loosened the other three then retightened them). I sprayed MAF cleaner directly into the throttle body.
Thanks in advance for your help.
