running with the tps unhooked?
i have unhooked my tps sensor since i couldnt fix the idle and guess what it doesnt surge and run like crap anymore. maybe later ill replace it but for now its all good. what will it hurt with it unhooked. or what am i lacking?

The TPS is used by the ECU to correct timing, fuel delivery, etc., and a multitude of other things. It WILL run without it, but not well. You really need to replace it.
