Make sure the wire is connected to the sender. The sender is basically underneath the oil filter. It's a roundish thing about 1.5" in diameter.

Check for vacuum leaks.
Adjust the TPS.
Make sure the throttle isn't physically stuck.

i am new to this car but can you physically adjust the length of the throttle cable? some people set it high to avoid stalling.
