I have replaced the TPS thinking this would solve the problem. The car will not idle on the fast idler since the weather has turned cold. It has always idled fine in the past
SOURCE: Car won't idle without revving when cold and dies when in drive
This Vehicle needs an Idle air control/Idle speed motor. Good Luck
SOURCE: Heat blows cold when car is idling
You have an air pocket in the cooling system. To bled it out you will have to park vehicle on an incline or jack up the front end untill the radiator cap is higher than the heater core. The remove radiator cap and run engine until warm then hold rpm to about 1200 rpm's and top off coolant level until you have no more bubbles.

Have a mechanic take a look at your throttle position sensor and engine idle sensor. Make him manually adjust them as opposed to just putting in new ones. It may require that you have to have a higher idle than normal. Your underlying cause is going to be that I am sure you have a lot of miles on your engine.

any of those sensors can cause that but the best thing to do is scan it or check for a vacuum leak with a smoke machine.
