car isnt runnig right! help!

hey guys, i appreciate your help. anyways, the idle has become really rough...it fluctuates now and the engine sends a vibration through the car. throttle response went to ****, and it feels like it doesnt want to go...its really sluggish now. my poor 'bird is sick! thanks for any input!
oh, and if it makes any difference, i recently took off my throttle body and used some tb cleaner to get the gunk off...i'm pretty sure i didnt screw anything up, but i just wanted to tell you guys. thanks again.

When you pulled the TB off to clean it, did you remove ALL sensors first?? They dont favor cleaning solutions.

You havent mentioned the last time a good tuneup was done?? Check/replace stuff for a full tune up (IE: search tomp tune up). Then let us know what you find.
