Do you know if the car has had any modifications done to it?
Like emissions removal?
Plenty of cases where the throttle body is stripped down to basic necessities and the Cold start,etc is removed.
That make you have to keep the car running "manually"( by your foot with you in the car) until it gets up to temp.After that the car will start and idle if it is warm.

So, when cold, the idle jumps around as it goes from high to low over and over? You might try measuring the TPS as its Green/Red wire should read 1 volt w/key to on and the engine as hot as it can possibly get (20 minute drive should be sufficient). And is this car an auto or manual.

Your TPS has but three wires. One is a ground so it obviously should not have any voltage. The Green/Red wire should have 1 volt w/the engine completely warmed up. And the third wire is the Vref voltage wire which is supposed to supply 5 volts w/key to on to various engine sensors. Given this, are you sure you measured the correct wire?

well from what ive noticed, the TPS has like a little black push like button? when you press the gas it pulls the throttle cable and then pushes that button in?

Agreed, and this is a pic of how it should look.

spray carb cleaner around the vacuum lines and manifold when the engine is cooled, not to much though and if you hear any difference in the idle you know the problem. if its okay you at least know that's out the question.
