Well attempting to reset TPS i couldn't get my TPS to read 0 for whatever reason it was staying around 2 even after fully unplugging it on accident. When watching my TPS value it seemed to bounce quite a bit between 5-7 is it possible my TPS sensor is bad and how can i get my idle adjustment cable back in the bike any help is greatly appreciated since im kind of lost...

Highly unlikely

Remove airbox cover...airbox lid...filter airbox base plate. Then reinstall idle adjustment cable with cable spring going onto housing first. Tiny dollop of Anti-Seize on cable threaded portion works wonders.

When not being able to achieve ZERO VALUE on 2003-2007 XB all models with cable completely wound out...it's typically:
Loose TPS assembly
Insufficient slack in throttle puller cable
Extremely dirty or loose TB butterfly plate
 
Do you think that is why my readings are also jumping a bunch ?
I also noticed my spark readings is jumping a bunch when the bike tries to idle and the bike idle is super inconsistent is it possible i have a bad coil?
 
Okay another update i took the sensor out of the bike and turned the little thing inside well watching the readings, even when i have it perfectly still it seems like the readings i get on ecmdroid still are not staying at 1 number if i have it set at 5 it will bounce anywhere from 4-7 i cant think of anything but the sensor being bad that would cause this.
