I've seen many a thread about TPS voltage so I'm good with that. But it seems lately that my throttle isnt very linear. I barely push it when im sittin still and the rev's jump up. Just doesnt seem to advance smoothly. When I'm driving its OK.

Supposedly they can go bad, although I have yet to see that on one of my cars.

You can check for linearity in the tps sensor with a volt meter, while working the throttle by hand. The voltage should adjust predictably/smoothly with the actual throttle position.
