Have you clean your IACV? Thats what controls the idle.

First off I can only guess you've got an Accord somewhere between 90 and 95 ish..some of the 96's went ODB II.
If you got a bad O2 sensor then I would start there. It could be that with the bad O2 is causing the issue (too rich or too lean). Then there is another list of things to check.

When you installed it, did you make sure the TPS voltage is within proper spec?

Idle voltage: 0.40-0.50
WOT voltage: 4.5-5.0

If it is not within this range you WILL have the exact issue you described in the first place (more so for the idle voltage). Just replacing the TPS will not guarantee anything.

WOT = Wide Open Throtle?

i recleaned and swapped out my iacv still same stuff as soon as the fan kicks on and i touch the throttle it drops to 0 rpms. and it seems to be starting hard like 2 cycles and it sounds like its tripping over it self aka too much gas and then it starts... who knows. hoping an O2 sensor cures your issue, and possible mine
