Replaced TP sensor rpms still pulse at highway speeds but only under a small load. Did notice one thing when sitting in driveway if I bring the engine above idle and hold steady the rpms will drop about 100 then go back, it will pulse back and forth. Could it be a dirty IAC valve, vacuum leak, or a fuel problem. Any ideas?

Dirty IAC and/or TPS issue will cause this symptom.
It idles smooth no pulsing, gonna clean the ICA and see if that helps. Next question I've heard you can clean o2 sensor, as anyone heard of this or done it if so what's the best way.
Yes. You remove it and clean IAC but do NOT turn, push, or pull pintle or you can damage it. Also clean the hole that it fits into. Easer to do if you remove TB.
The service manual details this. You can download it from the DIY/FAQ section.
