I have a Ford Escort 1997 I had the throttle body cleaned out, now it idles hard

What is your question?

Since I had the throttle body cleaned out, the engine idles hard when in gear idlening..It also has hard idling when in neutral and lower itself when in neutral..It don't cut off when it's on, it just idles hard and slows down what else could be done.. This is my first car and run great and I'm 67 years old and poor need this vehicle to get back and forth to work part time 6 hour a week at $8.75 an hour.. The vehicle was given to me by a neighbor bless his heart.. The vehicle don't leak the only little squeak is on the front wheels that needs two Wheel 14" Dust Shields that I can't find. The vehicle don't cut off except in the morning when it's cold, it cuts off on the first start and runs on the second start..

What makes this problem better or worse?

It's alright when cold, except when starting it in the morning it cuts off on the first start, the second start is alright until it gets warm

How long has your 1997 Ford Escort had this problem?
