I believe my TPS has s*** the bed. Car Runs fine until I come to a stop or push the clutch in. then my RPMs drop and i stall or at idle sitting they bounce around. Now having a SR20 redtop. do i need to find a TPS from another motor or are there ones that are interchangable? Any info would help alot thanks guys

Unplug the TPS and see if the problem continues. if so it might just be a dirty IACV or fault IACV.

Also you can adjust it. Get out the multi-meter and put one end to the plug and the other to ground. Then have a buddy push the throttle. At closed throttle the volts should read .35-.45 anything over or under then it needs to be adjusted. You adjust it by lossening the screws and moving the whole sensor up or down in very slight increments. When it reads .35-.45 at closed throttle then it should be good also at WOT it should read 4.0 volts or more. Another thing you should do is steadily press the throttle and watch the voltage with the meter and make sure it doesnt spike or jump around a lot, make sure it smoothly goes form closed voltage to WOT voltage. If you have a power FC it's real t easy to do. If not just borrow a meter.
