I had wired the tps backward and it idled at 3k just because it thought i was at full throttle. a short in the wires might be causing something similar. also incorrect voltage from other sensors like coolant temp can cause it to idle high.

What about if u check the signal going to the ECM with the full throttle it should be 5 volts, a good TPS should be between 4.5 & 5 VDC but u will have to check the wire end that gets into the ECM.

Check the oil, the low oil sensor will disable the ignition if more than a quart low. Next change the air filter, a dirty air filter can put the MAF ( mass airflow) sensor out range. Next change the fuel filter. A cough or back fire is an indication of fuel starvation. Always do the cheapest fixes first. Perform an OBDII scan for stored fault history before buying parts you don't need.

TPS ISSUES!
It seems that you probably have a major vacuum leak,causing a very hi idle and rough shifting . The fist thing is get a can of intake cleaner and with the engine runing ,spray around the base of the throttle body and observe any changes in idle speed. The gasket under the TBI has a habit of leaking. When there is an uncontrolled vacuum leak the engine just thinks you have opened the throttle. Good luck Moe

1995 Mark viii 4.6L. Problem is starting up, it runs high idle, 2300 rpm. After about 30 seconds, it will calm down to about 1900 rpm. Still high idling. Once in gear, it races off. When approaching a stop...
Assuming you don't have any stray vacuum lines, I'd look into the TPS (throttle position sensor) Most idling problems can be traced back to the TPS.

Car dies out when I accelerate. Idles ok. Its getting gas but when I take off it stalls
There are 3 likely causes for your problem. It could be any 1 or a combination of the 3.
  1. Bad MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor
  2. Clogged or bad fuel injector
  3. Bad TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) This controls idle speed when the engine is cold, warm, or with the AC on.
Most often it's #3. Most large auto parts stores will perform a complimentary diagnostic test on your car. This will give you error codes stored in the car's computer and allow you to hone in on the problem.

Could be a bad EGR valve or TPS, there are just to many things to looks for at this point. Here is a link for you to get your DTC codes and we can go from there.

Tps sensor will be on the throtle body, the mass air flow is befor throtle body, sounds like your problem may be a clogged catalitic converter.

Tps sensor
There are 2 screws that hold the TPS on to the side of the throttle body. Before you take the old TPS off, note where the TPS is located regarding the adjustment slots. Remove the 2 screws, and remove the old TPS, install the new one, and try to achieve the SAME adjustment. If you get the adjustment wrong, the engine will idle up & down. If it does, move the new TPS slightly until the idle smooths out.
