Default New TPS mabey?

Im thinkin i may need a new throttle position sensor. When I give it some gas and let offto shift, itholdsits revs andmost the timeincreases its revs. When i pull up to a stop sign or stop light, i pull in the clutch and instead of instantly idleing, it holds at about 2k then settles down. What do you guys think? <edited><editID>Moosetang</editID><editDate>38001.8077199074</editDate></edited>

yout TPS needs adjusted with the timing. optimal performace should be set at .99 or 1.0 volts

I sprayed wd-40 on the spring and it seemed to help real well for the first 15min then it returned back to what it usually does.

then maybe some oil or somethin. i think that is where your prob is. if your tb is really rusty around the rotating assembly then you might want to look into a new tb. good chance to go aftermarket!!!
