I'm sure when you replaced the tps you "set it properly" using a volt meter so that you have the correct voltage at idle and WOT.

Have you tested/inspected the coil and ICM?

Also just so I'm clear, you are have no codes now.....correct? Do you remember the ones that were there?

In may these codes were reported: P0401-egr insufficient flow. In the order notes were p0420 catalyst efficiency issue, p0441- evap system incorrect purge.

They claimed to have cleaned the egr passageway and they cleaned the fuel injectors, and replaced fuel filter.

Verify the ports were cleaned.......Verify the other things - what are the voltage readings from the tps at idle and wot?

Last...put your car info in your signature line so we don't have to re-read everything to remember/know what year/trim level/engine we are dealing with....Thanks

The ECT sensor could possibly be the source of your idle problem.

The ECT sensor is one of those sensors that could be faulty; but, not always set a code.

The ECT sensor can be tested.
