Default TPS SENSOR PROBLEM

The rpm's stick when i am driving or reving the car... but with the tps unplugged it does not stick at all... I checked my voltage reading and it was at 1.14 which is a lil high but do u think the sensor is bad or does anyone think they know what is wrong.? My guess is the sensor is bad.. if its bad would tbe check engine light come on then though? the light comes on only here and there.. anyone have an idea let me know thanks...

carb cleaner will be fine just make sure it is dry before you put it back on and set the TPS between .98 - .99
