Ok - so the first thing you need to do is check for intake leaks - that's most common and easily remedied.

Also - look at the screws for the TP sensor - see if someone picked the epoxy out of them or if they have pliers marks on them - that will tell you if someone monkeyed with it.

And also check the air bleeds in the throttle body that the epoxy is still over them.

That's not uncommon and would lean it out a bit.
