What should I replace next, ready to give up... 700 1989

Well in the past three weeks I have replaced: the spark plugs, dist cap, rotor, wires, FPR, both temp switches, cleaned throttle body, adjusted TPS to specs, all vacuum hoses, oxygen sensor, and finally the AMM. I also replaced the exhaust system, although unrelated. My problem is that I cant get the car to idle at a certain speed. It seems to either idle high (1200rpms), low (500rpms), or eraticly between 1000 & 1500rpms, depending on its mood. When driving the car, other than the idle problem, there are no other problems except a VERY MILD hesitation upon take off. I am going to clean the fuel injectors and replace the seals next weekend. I also replaced the fuel filter, cleaned all grounds, but I am running out of ideas. The cost of doing all of this is starting to build up, but I just want the problem solved. I noticed a small bit of moisture in the TPS, but I dont think that is the problem, or is it?? Im calling upon anyone who can help me solve this ongoing nightmare...

thanks in advance

Jeff (who is losing sleep)
