Check the voltage on your TPS, and have you tried bleeding your coolant? When there's air in your coolant, when those pocket of air hit the IACV, the idle will surge sparatically.

Is your idle set to the right RPM? Make sure the idle is set to 825rpm+ -
with the screw. Also check ur resistance on the TPS as stated.
It should be .5 closed and .45 wide open I believe.

Follow your lower radiator hose, it will conect to the thermostat housing by the back left corner of the cylinder head. You will see a little bolt with a hole in it, this is the bleeder nipple. Take off your radiator cap and unscrew the bleeder nipple, once you see a steady stream of coolant comming out your done.

i did it with the car running and with the radiator cap off..and it will come out of the radiator sometimes and when it rev's up the coolant will come out of the bleeder screw..but when its down toward 1000rpm's none will come out

try blocking your fast idle thermo valve on your throttle body.. that does the trick.. just do a search for it on here and you will find what you need

if your car is steady ilding high or low then you can adjust the idle on the throttle body. but first you need to go back and make sure that your not loosing coolant through the bleeder screw. if that doesnt work try what championshipwhite93si said.
