Renix after market TPS life span/adjustment

I replaced my TPS about 2 years/20k miles ago. It was from NAPA. All gounds have been refreshed, 5-90's cables added.

About once a week, after warmed up, I notice the idle going higher by about 2-300 rpm. If I shut it off, it will then restart and go to 2500 rpm.
After shut down, it takes a couple of restarts(immediately after shut down) to return to a normal start up idle.

Q: do TPS's go out of adjustment, or is this symptoms of one going bad? This is what it was doing 2 years ago and the new TPS stopped it until now.

Thank you!
 
1) I don't think they "go out of adjustment" unless the retainer screws loosen up.

2) The only times I've seen these go bad, they had a dead spot. The engine would cut out or falter.
