1. Once the clamps are snugged, to compensate for material shrinkage, they should be good for a long time. Check maybe once a year. Snug, not gorilla tight.
2. Most likely there has been more than one issue affecting idle.
3. If this was the first time the TPS was unplugged, it may also be a TPS connection issue. Best to clean with soft brush, such as old, but clean, tooth brush and contact cleaner. If no contact cleaner, then alcohol (IPA).
Blow out with clean compressed air. For this, I like the canned air.
4. With the connector off, gently pull back (then push forward) on each wire to insure that the contact is seating within its cavity.
5. If not the TPS connector, then maybe the IACV connector.
I do not have all the answers but strongly suggest checking each possible problem. I tried to summarize on Dec 27, but can re-post if helpful.
