You may have messed something up. Check for a vacuum leak, also check the change TPS write up. There'* a trick to installing the TPS the right way. It'* easy to install wrong.

Hmm.. your throttle body isn't sticking or dirty is it?

Just something to ponder until the gear heads arrive.

Everything should be cleaned. A sticking or dirty IAC can cause idle problems.

I would check for vacuum leaks around the sensors. There'* a O ring on the IAC and the MAF.
