3sgte wont idle (UPDATE: CODE 51!), will hold rpms, but cuts off if let off the gas Options

[brianforster]

any ideas? ive been talking to lagos and weve gone over so much stuff, but if anyone else has any ideas let me know.

so far weve checked most stuff up to listening to the injectors to see if they fire, i tried to do this but couldnt because the downpipe is LOUD.
ive checked and rechecked almost every hose and connection

i ran codes today and got code 35 and 51, i fixed the 35, that was bad splicing

now i tested the TPS as in the celica bgb, except i did not have a way to apply vacuum to throttle opener (quoted from bgb)

and i did not have a feeler tool to measure the 2 measurements they want you to do and test the ohms there

however lagos told me to go ahead and test it without vacuum or the gap, and everything came out normal

now either i did it wrong or something else is causing me to throw a code 51 and not idle, but it seems as if it is definitly the throttle position sensor because of two things:

the code 51 (duh)

and today when i was holding the rpm to get a vacuum reading it jumped up to like 3 grand and stayed there, this happened as my foot stayed on the same position on the acellerator

i have my TPS from the 7afe which according to autozone is the same, so do you think i should just change it even though i got correct ohm readings?
