Would that be a clear cut that the TPS is bad? Or is there more too it? Thank you very much

I cant say , do you have another TPS you can swap to test it out? , Maybe try to examine the wires plugged into the TPS for shorts or something.

This is not a common code.

Besides checking to align the pin male/female of the sensor/throttle plate. No nothing really special , those does not need to be adjusted.

What do you mean By the male/female end? I had mine apart checking it ok and its white on the inside with to teeth like slots i guess ? I disconnected the battery and cleared the code ok. Now the Check Engine Light comes on and stays on? Would I assume this is bad? Thank you for the help
