This could be a fix as simple as taking choke cleaner and cleaning the throttle plate. Also clean up the linkage as due to the mileage there may be some dirt/oil in the likage not alllowing the tps to work correctly. Also if this is the adjustable type it may not be adjusted right. Some have elongated holes for mounting and others do not they came both ways for a while.
