So this issue was there when i purchased the car. When i would give it gas the acceleration would be hesitant, and would stay around the same rpm's until it leveled out and got better around 3k rpm's. I decided that my issue had something to do with my coil so i replaced it, that obviously didn't help.
After I replaced the coil, i thought it would be a good idea to unplug any wire i could see and spray electric connection cleaner on all of them (bad idea on my part) . The next day i started the car and it instantly revved to 3k and stayed there for about 1 minute before i shut it down. I proceeded to start the car and shut it off many times, tapping on the ICV, TPS, Air box sensor and had no success in fixing the problem. I believe that when i was tapping on the TPS i may have thrown it off of calibration, because these sensors are supposed to be screwed on a certain way.
My next course of action, was to pull some stuff apart, I removed the airbox, the throttle (because TPS is connected on the underside), and ICV. I started by cleaning the ICV and shaking it, it is making a clicking noise so i believe it still works (it also vibrates when ignition is on)!? I bought a new TPS and air filter, and installed both. I believe that the TPS was bad because people having the same issue say that this usually fixes it, and when i would pull the throttle (with the car off) i could not hear the microswitch clicking.
After assembling the new parts, and everything back together, i started the car. It was no longer high idling at 3k rpm's but was now surging, between 1k and 2k constantly, and also the fuel economy gauge was going from 0 to 40 along with the rpm movement. I think i messed something up when i switched the TPS but i am not experienced enough to know what lol. I am hoping maybe someone has had the same issue or knows what my next move should be. I was thinking of getting a smoke test done, to be sure that there are no vacuum leaks going on. Another reason i believe it may be the TPS is that, oil and coolant was getting on everything under the throttle including the tps and the original one was covered in gunk.
I am very new to the forum and hope someone can help me, i also have a video that i took today showing my gauges as the surging occurs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyIW...Y&spfreload=10 (video of the car idling weird) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3NncT62mJ0 ( video of the gauges)
