    While probably not related to the problem most tps's like to run a bit lower like .90 If you ever end up with a high idle or hang idle that could be your issue. Have you ever set your base idle and timing?

    Taken straight from svoca....
    To set your base idle you will need to have the car running, at operating temperature, all accessories off.

    The next step is to disconnect the IAC (Idle Air Controller). The engine speed should slow to around 750 or it may stall. The proper setting is listed on the emissions decal (825-975rpm) on the cover of the coil.

    With the IAC still disconnected set the idle speed using the adjustment screw on the front of the TB. Operate the throttle a few times to make sure that it is set properly.

    Turn off the engine and reconnect the IAC and start the car. After a few minutes the idle should set itself around 950 to 1025 RPM. After doing this procedure, it may be necessary to reset the TPS.
    If you blink at the end of the straight away you'll miss the twisties and what fun would that be!
