That thing was dirty. It cleaned up pretty good. Hopefully it will fix your issues permanently

Well the issue came up again so today I went outside and inspected this issue a little more, I noticed that the car runs fine without the TPS being hooked up. I disconnected it from the car (not the throttle body) and the car ran perfectly. I connected it back on and the car still ran fine. Sound more like a harness issue?

Shoot when my TPS isn't plugged in my RPMs surge to like 3k.

Sounds like it could be a wiring issue, or possibly a PCM issue.

Have you checked your intake for leaks? Inspected fuel injectors? I'm not sure if you can clean the egr valves on these but if you can that might be worth the while. Maybe check/replace front o2 if all else fails?
