First of all, you haven't said what engine, and not all E30 engines use the same type, so the answer depends on that!
The TPS on most E30 engines consists of two switches, so again, the symptoms can vary, depending on which switch (or both) has failed, and depending on which state they have failed in.
The most common thing to happen on the TPS fitted to most E30s is that the idle switch fails in the 'off idle' state, and this will lead to a poor quality idle.
