    the tps sends a signal to the ecu to adjust the fuel according to how open is the throttle if the the tps is malfunctioning idling occurs due to the fact that the ecu doesn't know if the throttle is opening or not

    aww but wouldnt you get a MIL been the tpSENSOR? keither way TP is only .5 v at idle(CLOSeD). So if its a TPS and it was sensing open trotle even if a lil bit wouldnt theh revs stay high?

    and the FITV, would that fix only on cold start ups?

    you won't get a cel as long as the voltage is w/in the operating voltages. i've seen people come in w/ the tps connected to the wrong plug (thanks honda for using so many of the same plugs underhood) and no cel.
