Default mk6 escort hunting

my mk6 escort 1.6 is hunting on idle, ive changed the air flow sensor and the tps sensor, that seems to have cured it but now if i dip the clutch it stalls, then i bring the clutch up and it goes again, so ive disconected the tps sensor atm and its running better, but is it ok to keep it disconected? until i get a new one also if it does start hunting again could it be the idle valve ??
sorry for the essay

Dude
Try disconecting and reconecting the Battery so the ecu can reset from the faults
The ivc will hold the revs up and cause it to hunt

pcv valve causes hunting hen they get old and gunged up so worth replacing that.

disconnect the battery for half hour then reconnect, start engine and allow to warm up on its own.

if yu suspect the tps fo the stalling issue refit the old one and try that.
