Default Weird problem... Trac and idle

Usually in when I start my car in the mornings it starts fine, idles fine and everything is good.

I get to work park and when im ready to leave the car starts fine, idles fine and it drives just fine.

The problem happens when I take a drive, park the car and come back a few minutes later and start it up. The car idles around 2,500, if i shift into drive, reverse, 2 or 1 the car will sputter, rpms will drop way down to 100 and the car will die.

If I turn the car off and on a few times it will start up normally.

The other thing is sometimes the trac light (top center of the tach) will come on when the car is started. (high or normal idle)

I was searching around and saw that it could be a bad tps?

Anyone else have any ideas?

Anyone have ideas? I already checked for vac leaks today. Getting a perfect reading on my boost gauge of -20.

Going to try changing the TPS and IACV.

This problem was happening even before the turbo, so its not that. lol.
