Idle Problems?

I have a 98 Nissan 200sx with 150,000 miles. Recently I can start the car but unless I keep my foot on the gas, it dies. Someone suggested that it might possibly be the throttle positioning sensor? The problem seems to be worse with the air conditioning on and a little better if the car is not cold. Any advise would be awesome!

The TPS and also the idle air control valve-you know the one that maintains the engine's idle that's controlled by the computer
