That it a classic symptom of weak grounds.
The basics: The ECU uses low voltage signals from sensors (like the TPS) to controls (like the BAC).
Most of these sensors have their own ground wires, but if the primary grounds are the least bit weak, the sensor grounds try to carry the noisy spark and alternator loads also.
I replaced the firewall to bell housing ground, and added an alternator to body ground.
Then I could get an accurate, repeatable TPS setting.
That fixed the idle problems completely.
