    just to add a note to this too, on most cars you can elongate
    the holes holding on the TPS sensor or slot them, then you can
    actually adjust the sensor for better throttle response, and sometimes
    idle too. Youll need a simple eletrical meter with probes like a Fluke
    or something to do it, but its an old trick we did on Fox body Mustangs
    back in the 80s and 90s. The sensor tells the ECU when the throttle
    plate is open and closed and how far its open by voltage, usually a
    range of 1.0 to 5 Volts. So we could slot the sensor and adjust it so
    it read .98 or .99 at idle, so the throttle response was improved
    off idle . If the voltage is anything over 1.0 at idle, the idle would
    be higher then normal, which you want to get away from.

    Its getting worse... pretty bummed. Car runs so good past this. Im driving and the car idle jumps to 1.5k-1.8k pulling the car. Lame. Happens with no consistency, quite randomly
