You can test the TPS for proper operation by touching a middle pin and a outside pin with an ohm meter. When you hit a dead spot the ohms will change rapidly. As you turn the TB, the ohms should react accordingly, if it jumps in a certain spot then you have a problem.

Refer to first post. I checked it with a scope and it looked pretty good. The only issue was that i could wiggle the center peice back and forth and change the voltage half a volt without turning it.

i know it's not exactly what your talking about and you seem to know a few things so it probably isn't this, but... have you checked to see if your maf is on backwards? that would explain the bucking/ stalling... not at an exact rpm though. arrow points to the throttle body btw

Yup MAF is correct. So the TPS and the throttle body cleaner didnt fix anything at all. I wiggled all the wires and didn't notice anything at all. I'm gonna clean my MAF next and see if that does anything. Still open to suggestions lol

Here is a video of my car idling. It wasn't working quite as bad as usual for some reason, but it was still idling really low. If my car starts shittin the bed again today I'll snap another video.
