That is weird....

Hopefully you won't be at the front of a red light while that is happening.

I'm guessing you ruined something, why did you clean the tps with carb cleaner in the first place? If there was nothing wrong with it, why mess with it.

Yo Saif, if you can bring it over to my house, ill take a look at it. The TPS can be tricky sometimes.

d1 is right. The TPS MUST be set to proper voltage for it to operate properly, and for it to deliver proper signal to the ecu. variations/fluctuation in idle like that can be cause by TPS, IAC, Ignition/timing, coils, bad grounds, vacuum leaks, and I can keep going...You need to check to see what codes are coming up with the associated CEL, and eliminate the issue(s) not related to the TPS/IAC. Also cleaning electrical sensors/components with carb cleaner isnt the best ideal, find a can of LPS dielectric cleaner for components like that.

oh yea turbo brought up a good point.... Why the F@(k would you use carb cleaner on a sensor? You do know that carb cleaner leaves a residue. ALWAYS use electric parts cleaner on sensors?
