Sounds like it could be the tps. You can try a reset or just replace it. If you've got an ohmmeter you can test it. I believe the center pin is pos and the 3rd pin( closest to the firewall and furthest away from engine) is neg. if you slowly open and close the throttle body it should be a smooth increase or decrease of resistance(ohms). If its all over the place then replace it. You can try a tps reset too. Sometimes that works.

Check the usual egr and pcv too. If you test the tps, make sure to inspect he back side of the throttle body, that it is clean, too much build up might cause it to stick.
