Default Jeep xj throttle sensor

So I bough a can of throttle body cleaner and a cap and rototlr today, I installed the cap and rotor (everything back in its right place) and cleaned the throttle body and the IAC, after installing the throttle back and starting, the jeep would chug when idling and would shake when accelerating. Also it smelled really rich. Any ideas?

Got the wires in the right order on the cap?
