fluctuating idle, backfiring, etc?

My car is just running like **** kind of. The idle is wayy fluctuating and the car has some hesitations when I punch it. Could this all be related to the TPS? Or anything else? Just looking for some feedback into some things to check. Thanks.

Hey, um, with 6673 posts, I have a feeling you should know a lot about the 7's, and with my whopping 25, I'm still just learning... but I have learned it could be one of about a billion things. Check the TPS, also there is the air valve thing on top of the TB for idle adjustment, also, check the spark plugs, one could be fouled over or something... do a forum search though, I'm sure you can find some good info

Well plugs are good. The TPS is the only thing I've never messed with. Jack, I think Mike has one, but hes never online when I am.

Ok, now my car has gotten worse. It has very bad hesitations and actually just now I floored it when it was in neutral, and the RPMs went down instead of up. Anyone have any ideas? This is very annoying. Thanks for any help.

Actually I haven't checked them, but they are a month old. I'll check them though anyways.
