dummy me i saw there was an allen screw adjustment on the body where the cables are located eg:gas peddle and cruise control cables
i messed with that hoping to lower thwe idle.....then i realized the plug was not connected....re-connected and ran the car now the car idles low and stalles sometimes while at a stoplight

I don't think you need us. You've pretty much answered your own post. Somebody needs to set histhrottle plate back where it belongs & reset his ECU.

Just make sure you don't have any other vacuum lines, or electrical connections missing after you do that.
