TPS problem?

Going to try and explain the best i can and im not sure if it even is a TPS problem. The other day i started my car and the idle was very bad, also my traction control light was. It would idle to 2.5 rpm and over time it would slowly go done just above 1 rpm just at idle. When i drive the car the rpm is still high but slowly goes down as i switch gears. after i park the car for the night and start it in the morning, it does not wanna start. I have to pump the gas peddle and wait for a minute before i starts and the idle will still be around 2.5 rpm. Is this a TPS problem? The traction control light throws me off aswell..

You need to find some one with a xcal scan tool/flasher and check to see whats not working , no one here will be able to do anything but guess , find out for sure what it is then replace that part

Sounds more like a Vac leak then anything but again borrow a scan tool
