TPS sensor/throttle body problem. Need some help

Alright heres the deal,
I installed my throttle body today after having it chromed. The throttle body had the Throttle Position Sensor removed in order to be chromed, now I put everything back in and installed it all, but am having some problems. The problem is my Maxima is revving up when I push the clutch in and put the car in any gear..It'll go from idle at ~650 rpm to revving to ~1700-2000 rpm without me giving the car any gas. Then when I put the car in neutral the rpm will fall back to ~650 again. Any Ideas?? Also now when the car is at idle and in neutral and I "blurp" the throttle, the car hesitates and slowly revs up and then kind of bogs down. Please help me guys I really need the help!

Thanks,

-Nick

Easiest thing to try is to adjust your TPS. You will need a ohm meter (digital volt ohm/meter) to adjust it properly. There should be 1000K ohms at close throttle and and 9000K at wide open throttle. Of course I'm basing this off my 94 FSM.
