2002 Camry stalls

Hello experts. I hope you can advise me on a little problem I'm having with my 2002 V6 Camry.
Here's the situation. The car has been running fine since we bought it new. I just finished replacing the starter and the car is again starting the way it should. The problem is the idle has since dropped way down causing the car to constantly stall. The engine is running smoothly and has great power on the road, but the idle speed is like 200-300 rpms. I have checked and rechecked all the vacuum hoses and EFI connections and am certain that I have put them back exactly where they were originally. What happened? Is it possible that one has to reset the idle speed when one disconnects the battery, EFI plugs etc.? Is there a procedure for resetting the idle speed? Help! I know a bit about FI engines, but this has got me stumped. (There is no check engine light on so I doubt any fault codes would appear)

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, I believe there is a base idle air adjustment.
