How long did you drive it after installing the new TB? Sometimes it takes a while for the ECU to relearn the new idle.

If it keeps hanging, acting up it and throwing CEL then it is most likely a vacuum leak.

Check the gasket, get or make a new one. Disconnect the battery for at least 5 minutes to clear the CEL. Reinstall it and let it idle for a while letting seek its new idle then drive it for at least half an hour.
