Ok do you have a digital multi meter? What we need to do is a couple of tests one on the TPS and the other on the IAC motor. The Idle Air Control (IAC) motor requires a scan tool to test so that should be done at a shop unless you have access to on get back to me on that one.
Now on the TPS or throttle possition sensor that is different. You will need to back probe and you can use a paper clip to do that, the orange and dark blue wire. Now with key on engine of throttle at rest you should read between.8 to 1 volt. Now slowly lift the throttle till you get to wide open it should slowly and steadly increase to 4.5 to 5 volts with no glitches or drops. Let me know what you find ok. Thanks for your support.
