odd problem, need help
Okay, I have got this odd problem and has just started.
the car seems to miss a little at idle. which is okay.
the real problem is when I rev the car up to any rpm, say 2000 and hold the pedal , the car will surge and drop surge and drop. I can not make it stop doing this.
what would cause this surging. how would I fix it.

I clean the plugs every month or so, and they appear fine.
This TPS thing, it just decides to go and thats it?
I can get the car to idle, but then it slowly dies and stalls out.
It seems to get a little better after it has warmed up.
Drives like ****, when its not warm.
You give it gas and it revs, but doesn't really move like it should.

yes that sounds like a tps issue. if you haven't recently done any intake work i wouldn't think it's vaccume related although it could be. test the tps and if it tests ok then adjust.
