Idle help

87 n/a, aws, acv, air pump, a/c, and rats nest removed. I've had problems with my idle before the recent rat's nest removal but afterwards it has gotten much worse. I have to give it a little gas to get it warmed up and once warm it will either idle smoothly but at around 1200-1500 rpms or idle erradic as low as 300 rpms at which point it will stall without giving it gas. Starts to stall any time I brake, turn a corner, or add any electrical load like turning on the lights or heater. During the rats nest removal I found a gash in the the lower intake manifold which has been patch with JB weld until I can get another although it still makes a sound as if I have an exhaust leak. I haven't found any vacuum leaks but will check again once I can get some more carb cleaner. Can't afford a new TPS just yet so hoping it's something I can fix without spending over 200 bucks. Any help is greatly appreciated.
