Take it off and clean it out with carb cleaner/pressurized air. Like I said I do it from time to time even if it hasn't started doing it yet just to make sure it doesn't happen. 2 quick easy bolts is easy maintenance with oil changes.

I had a hanging idle on my 5.0. turned out to be a dead spot on the TPS.
it's better to test it with an analog ohm meter but a digital meter can be used.
Connect the ohm meter to any 2 of the 3 wires on the TPS and cycle the throttle very slowly and watch for drops in the meter as the ohms increases.

My 96 has the same issue every time i change the tune or unhook the battery. Our cars computer has an adaptive learning ability. When the battery goes dead or the computer is reset, the computer has to relearn how to run your engine correctly and read the sensors right. It should go back normal after driving it for a week or so.

The car should relearn how to drive and have these related issues go away quicker than a week. Should be within a half an hour.

TPS sensor would be the next thing I check. Could you describe exactly what is happening again?

what mods have you done to the car? they may factor in here. also, about how long does it hang at 2k rpm before dropping?
i can stop the car take my seatbelt off an get out the car be for it drops some times so yea its long. i was thinking its the tps an some times the car will stall when im drivein if i im going about 60 then down shift then push in the clutch an hold down it willl stall out.

Looks like its time for the IAC restrictor mod

that's what i was thinking until he said it was stalling. that could be a vacuum leak.

If the TPS is old, how about just replacing them.
I thought the "adaptive learning" stuff was stored over the course of about 3 long trips. I could be wrong though.
Whenever I had to pull the battery or anything, the V6 that I used to have would run like crap until I made a few long distance trips (25 miles + or so) and then things started to smooth back out. Driving around town, or up to the store and back didn't really do anything to help.
Do u have a programmer and the tps is the easiest to test.
And even eaiser if u har a buddy with a snap on ethos or scanner that gives u live data would be the easiest the maf and tps should move together
So if voltage is rising when the tps is going up the maf should also
If u need any specs on anything about ur car u can pm me and I can access ALLDATA at anytime.
