Car starts OK. Idles briefly at 2000rpm then drops to usual 1000ish

Check engine light is on while engine running. Will it generally do that for a while after cem has been disconnected until it recalibrates?
I hope you disconnected the battery before doing your checks , otherwise there will be a lot of codes which will need clearing .
At least you know there is no corrosion , it is likely the network female terminals are a slack fit on the CEM pins ..
