Ok, just got off the phone with the mechanic I took it to. It set the throttle position sensor code again.. so he replaced that, then it set the code again. He is at a loss and is done working on it. So what should I do now? Take it somewhere else, or take it to the dealership? (please, not the dealership..). We really don't have many tools here to work on it well. But I was going to try and follow all the wires leading off of sensors to see if they are damaged.. (especially the TPS wire). Any other advise from anyone?
Thanks
Thanks

I don't know exactly, I just know it was the throttle body position sensor code.. maybe about it failing? As far as the number, i'm unsure.

OK sorry for the wait, but I made it to Autozone today. My car threw P0122, it was on there twice. Throttle Position Low or something. Thanks again!

I think the code is leading you in the right direction.
We did a big install for a guy which included a TPS extension harness, turns out that was wired backwards, so at idle the pcm saw 100% and at WOT it saw 0%... amazingly enough it ran great at mid throttle! hahaha
Check the harness!
