low idling

had my o3 max parked for 3 months and now the check engine light came on.
i always use good gas an i take care of my car.
when i start it, the rpm are fine. it stays around 1k but has the car warms the idle drops. all the way to about 500.
my symtoms are shaking and bad milage.
i took it to my mechanic and several codes came out about 6 codes.
he was in a rush so i didnt get the codes...
can it be the tps sensor.
the tps sensor looks difficult to remove, am i right or wrong..
can some one help me out..
pictures will help.
i tried all types of cleaners and nothing seems to work

Sounds like it doesn't work on all cylinders. Try to pull ignition sockets, one at a time to determine if some of them are not working. You should not see a difference in rpms when you step on one.

you could go to autozone to get the codes pulled.
