Default vag-com code 16890

I am getting this code 16890 idle lower than expected.
I did TB alignment and cleaned TB but no help. My car is idling like **** and when I push gas and slow down it sometimes even dies. when it does not die, rpm will drop below 400 rpm before wavering continuously between 400 and 500 rpms. any ideas?
