Rough Idling/Serious Stalling

I had posted earlier how my idle was rough and after a couple of days it got worse, the car was stalling whenever the rpm's got below 2k, it was sputtering at higher rpms and there was a weird engine whine that started.
I removed the intake to clean it, but it was only on for 3-4000 miles and wasn't dirty
I removed the throttle body, but when I looked it was already clean. I only have 54k miles.
I don't think its the TPS since the check engine light never came on.
I checked the vacuum lines for looseness or cracks, but they seem fine.
I need help, any other suggestions, 'cause this car is undriveable.
I also need a backup plan in case I cannot get it to work. I have an extended warranty on the car and would probably take it to the goodyear by my house.
First, should I remove the intake before taking it to them, so they don't try to blame the problem on that (I really don't want to, since its was a pain to put it on)
Second, are there other places that would work on a slightly modded car without BSing?

thanks.

The TPS can cause problems without trowing a code. It may need to be adjusted. "How to" can be found with a search or the Haynes manuel. Maybe a fuel filter?
I had a bad idel and stalling. I adjusted my TPS, idel, and put in new fuel filter and all is well.
