Default XJ 2.5L idle all over place and jumpy acceleration

Hi guys. Just a quickie really. My 2.5L XJ is abit jumpy on acceleration and idle is all over the place. I'm guessing TPS and/or IAC motor?? An I right? It's not compression or chain. Checked and there perfect. It's a low miles replacement engine just gone in.

Thanks guys :-)

Joey

A thorough throttle body cleaning should be first on your To-Do list.
