Default why it pulls

Don't know how to explain it but hope somebody can understand and help. When my car is driving it pulls pulls pulls. Can it be anything with the tbs? The tb is clean. Don't see no holes loose.

Yes the tps and no the car don't buck. It's more like if the car accelerates on its own. But not enough to to see ur rpms go up. It's a constantly thing when driving and when it idle the rpm goes up and down. I move the tps and the idle got a little better but its still does the same when driving.

Are you talking about the car surging ahead, then slowing down, over and over?

Might be your IAC (idle air control), the cylindrical thing that bolts onto your throttle body spacer and has an electrical connection. Pull it and clean it the best you can. If it improves, that's your culprit.

If that's what's doing it, you might have to replace it. For some reason, they seem to go less and less time between cleanings until its worth the money to replace it.

Is it a manual or auto tranny?

Pull the codes out and make a better decision.

Also, if its chugging in first or second at very low speeds, it'll do that even when its perfectly tuned. Just keeping the clutch barely engaged when creeping through parking lots will help.
