I'm having a strange throttle issue and unsure how to approach this/check.
50-80% of the time car starts fine, idles ok-ish (small fluctuation, like 150rpm or so) under 1000, maybe 900.
Other times one of these can happen
- starts fine, I back the car out of the garage, throttles ramps up to almost 2000 in about 8 seconds, cuts out and drops to 800, repeat
- starts and idles high like 2000, does the weird above little dance
If I turn it off and start it again it may be fine, or not.
This can happen at any time. Car would drive perfectly fine, I park it, leave it for an 15mn or overnight, start it back up and it's a coin toss.
Drives fine other than that, no CEL. I do not have a scan code with me so I don't know if any error code is logged.

Car particulars:
N/A (Not SRT6), 2004 130,000km (80,000miles), magnaflow exhaust, needswing dual CAI, and larger (used provided by needswing) throttle body - with new gasket. I have reset throttle body a half dozen times (key in, press brake, turn on, wait, etc...), I have disassembled and reassembled the CAI to check for vacuum leaks that could lead to unmetered air between MAF and throttle body and all looks fine too.

So far I am thinking:
- Bad MAF
- bad throttle position sensor (If so, could I swap the TPS under the plastic housing from my original throttle body, like, other than size, are they the same electronically?)
- loose connector on MAF/throttle body (I have a blinker that sometimes work and sometimes does not because of old connector so it could be likely)

EDIT: CPS: ordered, will replace it at the very least it will be preventive maintenance.

If anyone could remove some potential red herrings in my troubleshooting that would be great, thank!
