Another Idle problem

Here goes not to long ago i posted about my throttle being stuck, well it doesnt idle at 7k anymore after tinkering with the throttle linkage n stuff. But it is however very erratic between 1.5k and 2k then sometimes at 2.5 and 3k. I unplugged the tps and it smoothed out but did not go down, also i have a pretty major exhaust leak but that will be fixed with rb road race exhaust i just got two days ago. Could the exhaust leak be part of the problem? Does it sound like the tps is bad or is it probly something else? It sucks cuz people see this really nice clean shiny s5 then hear it idling like **** and give me a really wierd look. Any ideas would be great thanks.

You've checked the fast-idle cam and associated linkages?

And this 1.5 to 3K idle is with her warm?

Any codes?

Let me explain in more detail, the problem started with me doing a burnout. 7k drop the clutch kind. I have not ran codes, there is no check engine light. would there still be codes to be found? I have checked, not neccesaraly<--shity spelling
adjusted all throttle linkages. and yes that idle is with her warm.
