New here - having throttle body issues. Can you help?

I will try to keep this as short as possible.

A month or so ago, I was having problems with my car starting. It would crank, but it wouldn't turn over for a couple of tries.
I took it to the garage, and they tell me that it is probably the throttle body, and that it should be cleaned.
So they clean it and they replace the gasket/o-ring.
STARTING ISSUE SOLVED!.... HOWEVER.

So now I had high throttle issues. AND - I noticed that for the last week that if i took my foot off the gas (too fast) when I was driving that it would jerk a little. And today it finally was acting correctly, when i took my foot off the gas, no jerk.

I go to lunch today, sit there for about 45 minutes, go to start my car, and AGAIN i have an issue where it is cranking and won't turn over. If I give it a little gas...(horrible idea with a fuel injected car, I know) it starts finally.

Can someone help me??
