    Did you put your TPS sensor in right? I would check that first, you have to put it in the rotate it towards you, then put the bolts in.

      as far as I know it's in right and it's new, so is the MAF, MAP, that was the main reason I cleaned it, keep throwing p0102, p0107 and p0122. no more codes but sticky cable

        If you just put it in without turning the TPS sensor towards you it is in wrong and you rpms will stay high until it is in right or your linkage is messed up.

          rpm's are normal, when I put the tps in I had to turn it up towards the hood to get it to line back up.

            I'd say it's the cable needing lube. Mine does the same, just one time in morning right?

                You might check the IAC? Don't know if you replaced that one or not. If not then spray it down with some brake cleaner or carb cleaner and wipe it down.

                    Yeah, I don't know if it is not one of those or the cable linkage, Do you have a cruise control linkage on your TB hooked up?

                      Is it sticking OPEN or CLOSED?

                        sticking closed, I have to push it before putting in gear or starting the car, or when it break losse it will try to spin out or jerk real hard.

                          Check the adjustment on the throttle blade. If it closes too far it will stick. Also make sure the inside around the throttle blade is clean.
