The throttle position sensor is on the side of the tb, on the drivers side. It has an electrical plug and two torx bolts attach it to the tb.

Any number of things can cause a rough idle. Throwing parts at it from suggestions isn't recommended. TPS sensor can be tested. Check the water pump also, and make sure it isn't wobbling. With the engine off, grab the fan and see if there is any play in it.
You may have a vacuum leak on the intake manifold, an injector problem, a mechanial problem, a plug wire shorting out to the body, any number of things.
