    It's not hunting as everyone says. Hunting is caused when an engine is out of tune at idle. Your tune is probably quite good. The problem is idle cut, where the engine is getting enough air to rev past 2000rpm, but the idle switch is closed, which tells the ECU you dont want to rev past 2000. The TPS adjustement is probably fine (as the idle swtich has to be closed for this problem to occur). Look for a vac leak, missing vac cap, or faulty/blocked ISCV as your engine is simply getting more air than it needs at idle.
