Yeah, I heard of people having troubles with this valve after cleaning the throttle. Lucky, for me, I was very careful in cleaning mine without any troubles. But, anyway, I would just clear the code and wait to see if it comes back. If it does, then something is definitely wrong. Maybe in need of a new one or just double-check the connection.
