Found it after almost giving up BUT I have receipts from the previous owner and the TPS sensor was replaced december 2010, is it possible these sensors are crap?
anyways what I was trying to show in the video was the messing with the throttle body you can hear the engine bog but as soon as I disconnect the sensor it revs freely without bogging out. So question can I drive the car for a little big with the sensor off?

alright this is not resolved, I dont have a voltage tester so I loosened the 2 bolts on the TPS and repositioned it, doesn't bog but idle is higher but... I can live with that for now.

Thanks for posting this...Mine is doing the exact same thing. I thought it was my SAFC wires shorting but as soon as I unplugged my TPS problem solved. I tried to adjust mine but its not any better so I will be changing out my TPS today and I figure I will be good!!
