Well Id start with fixing that. Then maybe clean the IACV.

yeah def and im prolly gonna go buy some parts cleaner and it clean it out but do you think it could be the tps sensor or maybe the fast idle thermo valve cause i might just replace all of them maybe not sure

Stock b18b1?
If so i would Close off the FITV, clean out the IACV. Get a throttle cable that isnt bent. And then see if the symptom remains.
