    Tried plugging in a scanner to see if something's out of place (besides the idle)?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I reset the pcm tonight after cleaning the pcv to eliminate that as the cause and now the SES light is on. I'm relieved because now that might help figure out the issue.. going to find out what code is showing tomorrow.. will update.

    It's quite possible you put the TPS on incorrectly. There is a way to mess it up.

    Scanner would help tremendously. And..I doubt things keep happening. Likely it's something you touched.. (just saying, been there..done that)
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I have faith....that often it's the last thing we messed with that causes the issue that pops up suddenly afterward.

    I was naive at one point in my life. Then I became experienced, you'll find much of my diagnosis starts with .."What have you recently done?" lol

    Which EGR code?
