shoebox need help!

Ok I cleaned my tb with tb cleaner and the maf... the tb sticks still i adjusted it, oh its a Holley 52mm there a pain to tune with... My rpms are at 1100 hundred now that i adjusted it its back to normal for the 6 speed.. what to do if it happens again, It stayes at 1100 then yiou have to like tap on the gas pedal to make it idol normal... I had problems adjusting it before because the holes for the holley tb are not made correct for the tps sensor.. You think i should mess with tps again or leave it...

If its sticking, and isn't returning to fully closed, you need to solve the sticking problem before you start adjusting the TPS voltage. Why is is sticking? Is there a problem with the cable? Are the blades binding in the bores? Shaft propery lubricated? Is the return spring "loose" (there is more than one hole to index the spring for tension)?

Well, you hav to look at it. Have someone operate the pedal while you watch what the throttle lever is doing. See if it is returning to the stop screw. If needed, remove the cable and operated it by hand to make sure the cable is not the issue.
