Idle= Mind of it's own. Also bucking.

When my car starts it will idle @ 1300 rpm's. Stays that way after warmed up. Sometimes after start-up it will idle @ 1000 rpm's. Sometimes it will idle @ 450-600; but only after it's hot and has been turned off and re-started.
My car will also "buck" and "hesitate" but only low load, like 1/8th or 1/4 throttle. If I step on the throttle it goes away. Can't now, only 400 miles on motor . It seems like a sensor (Idle air control, TPS, ???) might be sticking. Ideas?
BTW Injectors were cleaned, new plugs, wires, leading coil, fuel filter.

Ive had my FD for about a month and I have the same problem. I suspect the TPS for the idling. I adjusted the dashpot and there is less bucking now

Some members have replaced bad clutch switches to remedy this problem. It didn't help mine. Turned out that adjusting the TPS helped a lot.
