It's not the TPS it's the IAC valve. Read this thread showing how to go about cleaning it, or you can replace it, your choice.

The IAC controls idle speed, once you press the gas pedal the IAC is disabled. So since you're issue is strictly at idle, this part is the place to start. The TPS will give you problems when driving, not at idle.

I took the elbow and everything off mine to clean it. Don't really want that crap going down into the engine. Use throttle body cleaner on the tb; not carb cleaner. Doesn't matter what you use on the elbow. I threw mine in the parts washer and let it soak for a day or 2. When I bought my expy it had so much crap caked on the butterflies that the gas pedal was sticking. If you take everything off at once you can clean the iac passages and egr also. Get some new gaskets ahead of time for everything.

No its stock paper filter.as for the stalling at lights I read the link above,did the cleaning and still stalls out.so maybe a new iav?valve or perhaps this oil has something to do with it?
