Okay so it's not the TPS that is causing it to idle badly. Still completely baffled. the car still will not start unless Im giving it gas and it still idles high when the AC is off. but when I turn the AC on it idles fine.

Okay so TPS works, IACV, Works, ECU to my knowledge is fine. Could it be the Fuel pressure regulator or something else fuel related? It will not start on cold start unless I give it gas and if it does its a terrible stumble but once I give it gas it will start. Also it idles extremely low and sputters until the engine hits running temp.

Update: I replaced my Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor a month ago when these issues all began. The car has been sitting all day so it's pretty cold right now. I went out and tried to start it and nothing. I unplugged the ECT Sensor and tried to start it, the car fired up and idled fine, Check engine light came on like it should have as well. Sounds like the ECT sensor I got was bad but good enough not to throw a code? A penny for your thoughts guys and a quarter to whom ever can give the most information!
