check to see if your intake manifold bolts are tight. also check inside your throttle body for gunk. take out the tps and iac and clean it all up.

TPS cannot really be cleaned. If symptoms/testing point to it, replace it.

But start with a thorough cleaning of that throttle body, idle air control, perform a FULL tuneup including fuel filter and see where you're at after that!
