If you don't bleed the cooling system well, you get an airlock at the back of the head. Sitting back there is the ECU coolant temp sensor. If you have an airlock you will get the idle situation you describe. It has happened to me and my highly experienced Toyota mechanic mate tells me it is common. Bleeding can be very fiddly.

Might be obvious, but check also you plug the loom plug back onto the sensor. Can't remember offhand if it is the green or brown one.
