when you say "TP sensor" are you referring to the foot pedal postion sensor or the throttle body?
my w.a.g. (and I have looked at a few of these over the years) is a bad (stuck) throttle body or bad computer. this truck should ONLY idle if the foot pedal position sensor is out of whack. you may have a bunch of crud built up inside the throttle body.
