unless the TPS is way off, it won't affect your idle that much. setting it to .98 volts just makes the ECU system respond quicker when the throttle is moved. have you tried cleaning the IAC and throttle body with some carb cleaner? not sure but think diagnostic test should run less than $100 if all they do is read out the codes and list the problems.

yeah one of the first things i tried was to clean the throttle body. the idle isnt terrible i just think it might be off a enough to make it slightly not right
