I want to wash the throttle body on my mazda cx7 2010. my question is will I have to reset or reprogram anything after washing it. When the ac is turned on the car will move without stepping on the gas pedal and the pedal seems to fell sticking sometimes. When the ac is turned on the car will kind of jump, but when the ac is off it ldle is ok

You need not but the computer needs to relearn after the cleaning and DO NOT turn ignition on during this process.

The computer will relearn on its own , after the cleaining is completed? Should I disconnect the battery?

Yes, computer would relearn. Disconnecting the battery is optional.
