Not yet, I have a wacked out work schedule, I work 8 days 10 hours each and then have six off... so I'm in the middle of my work stretch I don't have time to get to a parts store yet. It stopped doing what it was doing stallingwise so I thought maybe it was from flashing the PCM like it was stumbling while relearning everything. But then last night when it was in park, I revved the motor and everytime I came off the gas the rpm dropped so low the lights dimmed and then it sat back at normal idle... I'm gonig to guess the IAC for the next fix and then maybe a vacumm leak after that? I do occassionally throw the p0441 Evap code every few months, I just clear it out with my scanner.

replace the iac motor. that damn thing can cause more issues that you would thing. it stands for idle air control but it can affect the rpm range while your driving, and i would say replace your tps but u already have, so replace your iac, i think their about 30 bucks at autozone....it's cheap...it's easy...and it's a quick yes or no...and it's def not gonna hurt anything by replacing it. i had to replace my tps and iac about a year ago to fix some weird rpm issues i was having in cruise control and occasionally while i was driving around.

Excellent, yea I just haven't had a chance to get in 'er yet. I heard some bad things about after market IAC's.... Do you remember what brand you bought / have an recommendations?

Off Topic but, beautiful bike I ride a GSXR:

i got a bwd a few years ago from advance and its working just fine.
there are some people that say any brand sensor other than mopar just won't last, but the cheaper sensors work just fine (most of the time, sometimes you can get a dud).

Yea, thats who I got for the TPS, they're very reputable for the sensors, I don't see it failing any sooner than a mopar unless by defect. On the other hand I could definately see the "standard motor parts" and ones like that failing especially for $20.
