i disconected the tps,while trouble shooting.
i then ran the bike,it ran like a pig.
i then reset the tps to 4000rpm but it still runs like a pig.any ideas what i have done?
why do i do these stupid things

Connected or disconnected, in my experience, does not invoke "running like a pig". At a most, I've noticed rough low RPM performance when disconnected. Sure You haven't detached any of the vaccuum hoses by accident? If not, what do You mean by "running like a pig"?
My German girlfriend has a good word for what You've done, I'm doing it all the time: "kaputtreparieren", meaning something like "repairing something until it's in a worse condition than before"...

Hi zenridaz!

Why were you trouble shooting, i.e. what was the original problem?

Maybe that could give a hint ...

Yeah, been there done that (but not with the tps): fixing something without need 'til it was broke
namely "kaputtreparieren"

basically i thought if i run the bike with the tps unplugged on full advance,that this would maybe solve my acceleration problem that i have had for some time .

underload when i hold the throttle wide open i get what feels like mis firing.
the bike has had this problem for sometime,but i seem to have made it worse buy unplugging the tps.

the bike idles rough
i changed the emulsion tubes about 500k ago.

check your coils

bikes going fine now.
pluged the tps back in.set her to 4000 and all ok now.
