Check all connections under the hood by the fuse panel.

do you mean to unbolt the fuse box and check wires underneath?

You won't need to unbolt it you shold be able to lift up the red cover and check connections. Also check the fuses.

Then maybe the cluster or Cem might be bad.
Before this happened was the ABS module bad?

If you clean the throttle body the idle might get better.

Still not sure about the cluster you would need to read codes on all the systems to see what is going on.

The entire throttle body is electronic. There is a 10 year200,000 miles extended warranty on it but there needs to be specific codes in there and they need to run tests to make sure it will fail before they replace it.

Ok then maybe something with the cluster not working is making it run like that.
