Now tell me if you think this is tps problems. Sometimes mine truck will fire up and then stall when i start it for the first time in a couple hours. I have to give it some gas as it starts to keep from stalling it. When i get to higher alttitude like the rubicon its worse and the idle is really weak and stalls easily. Also my mpg is 13 on a new 22re with 36" iroks. Do i need a new one?

My truck was acting up like this a few days ago.  I had the idle set to factory 750, but it seemed so weak, like it wanted to stall all the time so I just turned up my idle to about 1000.  It has a much more confident idle, and makes it easier to drive.  Of course, turning up the idle speed may just be a band-aid for a bad TPS.  I gotta unplug mine and see if it makes a difference.  Perhaps you could try the same.
