Default changed alot, still wont idle right

i put in a brand new idle control valve and tps sensor and set it, checked for vacuum leaks but couldn't find any and it still wont idle right. it has a map sensor otherwise i woulda cleaned the maf. any other ideas. it like chugs when decelerating at low speeds and jumps sometimes at idle.

now when you say 'jumps at idle' do you mean the idle is going up and down, or the car is trying to jump.
