No Help?

Well, I noticed the oval holes for the TPS screws and saw that my bottom one was all the way to the left. I loosened both screws and got them centered and tightened. When I ran the diagnostic again the check engine light stayed on steady. I assume the TPS is now in the right position. I also was idling at about 800. Trouble is, the idle changes according to driving conditions. Is this normal? Also seems to change in correlation to engine temperature. Well, I have it staying between 700 and 1,000. Am I worrying about nothing here? I'm one of those anal retentive perfectionists and little things like this bother me. Other than this, the engine seems to run great. Can anyone put my mind at ease and tell me not to worry, or should I be trying to keep a steady idle at all times?
