Default bucking/bouncing idle problem... Can't figure it out

1991 CRX Si - Going any steady rpm, the car will buck... After the car gets warmed up, it has a bouncing idle. Won't go under 1000rpm, and won't go over 1300rpms... I put in a known good ignitor, and it did the same thing. Anyone have any ideas?

I think that the TPS sensor broke when the motor mounts were so screwed up.
It was ziptied together for a while but if i remember right it was pretty trashed.

I totally forgot about that until just now.

I adjusted the TPS a couple weeks ago, because I was diagnosing another problem . It was within specs, but that connecter does have me kind of worried... I'll check it out. Its off and on, but it keeps getting worse and worse.

No CELs, I used to get the TPS code a lot when I was getting on it. Ever since I checked it out, it hasn't popped up yet.

I have a spare TPS, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the help guys, anyone else have any suggestions??

TPS was bad. I put on my ZC throttle body until I can get the TPS changed out on my Si TB. I drove for two and a half hours just now and it did just fine. Thanks again for all the help guys!

Travis, I zip tied the TPS connecter back on there lol.
