Default Cruising idle and vtec problems..

Alright, i searched my butt off, and couldn't really find anything to help.

I have a 93 EG with a GSR Swap, engine and trans, Blox mani, gsr throttle body (i think) ebay sri, dc header, solid mounts..

Issue #1:
Whenever I am cruising at low RPM, say for instance, 2500RPM, the engine will be running at the steady 2500 and without removing my foot from the peddle, it feels as if i took my foot off the pedal completely and then will kick back in within a second. Horribly annoying, I am guessing it is a TPS, but i rather not go buy one if its not the problem.

Issue #2:
My engine does not always engage into vtec, sometimes it does and pulls very nicely, and sometimes it doesn't. The engaging of vtec has always been very quiet don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Anyways, hopefully someone can help me with these issues, the info would be greatly appreciated.

For problem 1 it could be a lot of things. But for problem 2 the first thing you will want to check will be the VTEC screen.
