Unplugged tps, same idle.
Unplugged iac, same idle...
Not sure what's next. Only thing that I know is bad is the booster, which maybe the one way valve or whatever valve that's in it is leaking vacuum?

If you suspect the booster or one-way valve, clamp the hose off and see what happens.

Ok. When I said same idle, I meant that as in I unplugged, let it warm for about 5 minutes, then went around the block (about 1 mile

Definitely lag between pushing the pedal and getting response, but with it plugged in it responds like a whip, instantaneous response.

I sea foam regularly lol.
This isn't a stuttering idle either. It's a climbing idle
