car is starting... but runs like crap and pulses

ok as you may have seen in my thread a couple weeks ago i was having a few prob with my car..... started a 3800 rpm hesitation followed by no attempt to start
well after rewiring the starter, new bat and alt, finding a bad wire to a secondary inj,and a tps adjustment i got the car to start...
starts and warms up fine at about 2500 rpm but once warmed up it just pulses about a thousand rpm pulse... i can get the pulse to go away by unplugging the tps... but its still in spec per adjustment.....
i really need to be able to drive this thing for the holidays so i can see my son, the holidays are about 3 weeks away and i cant afford to just keep throwning parts at this car... can anybody lead me in the right direction

No harm with no TPS, but wouldnt you rather it run correctly? Try the TPS adjustment with the light method

the car seems to run well without the tps idels with about a 150 rpm bounce but not to awful besides seems pretty rich.... when driving all seems ok besides a jerk not at any certain rpms but seems to hit around- low 4k rps, agian once or twice around 5500 rpms and then sometimes at low 6k rpm
