Odd start up problem?? 96 z28

Hi,
I had been having an intermittent ses light, the car would shift very hard and have a slightly high idle (1000 to 1200 rpms). I would shut the car off and pull the pcm fuse and it would run normal again, and shift normal also. I had the car scanned and it showed a tps code, I replaced the tps and started the car and it worked perfectly.
The next morning the car would not start , it would crank over and fire just enough to keep me interested, I was able to get her fired up by pulling the fuse again but when it fired up the engine was idling at 1500 and crept up to 2000 rpms with ses light on, shut down,pull fuse, restart and running normal full day, no ses light.
next day same scenario...........
any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks,
RK
