Default tps or not

aiight check this out i been working on the idle on my fuking car for a long time it keeps going up down up down then idles REAL low then REAL high, thought it might of been a air pocket in my cooling system so i bled that, now check this out when i disconnect my tps the car idles at 2grand but smooth and easy, and when i press the gas and let go it comes down nice and easy, now when i hook it back up it does what i said up above and when i press the gas and let it go it comes down fast and hits hard a 1grand then goes back up then starts acting up again, can this be because a bad tps

aiight update i check the volts on the tps everything is fine so i guess its not that, i hooked my tps back up to see what happens aiight it idles kinda high when cold then when it warms up it idles real low and if i press the gas a little bit the rpms jump up and down and hesitates a little bit unless i press the gas down alot to like 3000 then its fine, but if i try to coast at like 2g it acts crazy, any ideas

It is supposed to idle high during warm up. Check your idle air control valve.
